There's always the absolutely stupidly small chance that somehow it's just a huge set-up, and for that reason I still vote against the death penalty. As I said, the risk is always too high.
Even when the evidence is overwhelming? It'd only make matters in most countries better, it'd set an example for those who think prison is a joy ride. However, that's not to say throw the penalty at everyone who commits a crime, there'd of course have to be good reasoning for said action to take place.
