Then you'd have amoral slime like Patrick Fitzgerald, Andrew Cuomo, Bill Lockyer, or Scott Harshbarger going after judges and prosecutors who may or may not have committed the actual crime, in order to score even more points for bringing down a bigger fish.

I believe there are crimes for which the death penalty is fully justified. I just don't trust our highly politicized system of justice to do administer it right. To me, the death penalty is sort of just another government program gone wrong because of corruption and mismanagement.

I'm thinking that if a judge or prosecutor DID do something criminal, putting them in prison in the general population is an even better punishment than the death penalty.

Hmmm...good points.
