I would hypothetically be for the death penalty for heinous crimes if our judicial system was 100% foolproof. Unfortunately, false convictions happen surprisingly often, there have even been cases of death row inmates being exonerated. I don’t think the benefits of the death penalty justify even one single wrongful death, so practically I’m against it.
I don’t know the details of those two cases, so perhaps. As a policy it’s still subject to the existence of false convictions though, so not worth it to me
Ultimate penalty for ultimate crimes.

In the two cases I listed there was no question of guilt. No problem throwing the death penalty at them.

Nothing more, nothing less.
