I lean pretty hard left who is also pro death-penalty (IN VERY SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES)
If the case has absolutely been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
All appeals have been exhausted.
Proof is absolutely undeniable.
Guilty party shows no remorse.
Crime is suffiently heinous (mass murder, child killing, serial killers, etc…)
A legitimate psychiatric board has deemed that there is little to no chance at rehabilitation nor does the guilty party show any inclination to want to rehabilitate.
if ALL those things are true, (plus some that I haven’t even considered) then I would rather execute them than pay for their living expenses for the rest of their natural life, or worse see them released at the end of their sentance absolutely knowing that they’ll do it again.
It’s not necessarily true. I mean you could be framed with your DNA. I’m not arguing that it’s plausible, just not absolutely undeniable. For instance, I would bet dollars to donuts that somebody has tried to frame someone else using their DNA.

No proof is absolutely undeniable. Especially not in an age when generative AI will soon be able to fabricate evidence easily.
You are absolutely correct regarding AI. I hadn’t considered that. It gives me something to think about. Thanks!
DNA based proofs are pretty undeniable unless you have a twin.

A lifetime imprisonment can be more inhumane than a death sentence.

(If there is enough solid proof ofc. You can’t roll back a death penalty)
Edit: in italics
Most death row inmates fight for their life all the way until execution. That’s proof enough.
How is the verity of the conviction related to how humane the punishment is?
Just specifying the proofs have to be solid bugs you? How weird.
