Once the sentence is carried out, there is no changing your mind about it. If the person is later found to be innocent, what do you do then? Better to let them have the appeal process to better determine that they are definitely guilty than to execute an innocent person.
It's not a perfect system, and sometimes (rarely) an innocent person still gets executed. But if we killed them right away, many, many more innocent people would be executed. |

A death sentence is the harshest sentence that our courts can hand down. We must do everything in our power as society to make sure that it is used appropriately. Simply killing a defendant once the jury says "guilty" would remove all of the safeguards that we have built in to make sure that we don't kill an innocent person (even though it looks like that has happened in the past anyway!). Pretend that you were wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death. Wouldn't you want the right to appeal and fight the conviction/sentence? |

Obviously not. I don't think being locked up in a tiny cell 23 hours a day qualifies as a perfect life. |
