If there is even the slightest, very remote possibility that the person who is convicted might not be the one who performed the heinous act(s), then I firmly oppose the death penalty. There have been many cases where countless years later it is proven that the wrong person was convicted. So anyone reasonable should oppose the death penalty in these cases.
But if there is 100% certainty that this is in fact the correct person, and there is only some argument about his mental state, motivation, or justification, then I am just as firmly in favor of the death penalty. This would include the sniper John Allen Mohamed who was killed last night, and that fat ass Muslim religious fanatic army Major and doctor-psychiatrist who shot all those people at Ft. Hood.
I don’t even see any reason why these types should be killed humanely. They were enormously merciless to their victims, so I have no problem with them receiving a long, lingering, agonizingly painful death process chocked full of humiliation.
