Arguments against the death penalty

Death penalty cost a lot, and the money could be used better.

The death penalty is morally wrong. If the society executes the person that has done the crime, they will be on the same low level as the person who did the crime. In some cases, innocent people has been executed. Then later the real murder has been revealed and now a innocent life has been taken..?

Statistics has showed us, that race and money has a big influence on, if you will get the death penalty or not. Lets say, a white person with a lot of money and good lawyer , that has done a same crime as a poor, but black guy. It has been proven that the black will get death penalty, but the white has a chance of getting a lower punishment. It is really shocking and wrong, because race and money should not influence on justice. The black poor guy might get a longer punishment, but it is better than being executed..
