normally I am not on the same side as NAACP, but there are enough history of death penalty errors and men wrongfully executed that I would like to see an end to the death penalty altogether.

The earliest example I can think of an innocent man condemned to the death penalty was Jesus of Nazareth who was executed by the Romans in AD 33 outside of Jerusalem.
I would restrict the death penalty to people who already have two or more prior felony convictions. That way, even if it turns out he didn’t do the crime he was executed for, he almost certainly would improve the world by departing it.
The death penalty is very effective - it's just that government cannot be trusted with it. When administered correctly - by the intended victim during the commission of a crime - it provides a very valuable deterrent effect.
Name five unambiguously innocent people executed in the last 20 years.
And just because it is listed on some anti-death penalty website doesn’t make it true.
