the last figures i saw showed that the public were 70/30 in favour of the death penalty for certain categories of murder.
at present when we have a murder trial, if jurors are 95% certain of guilt they give a verdict .that way knowing that if new evidence arises or evidence has not been brought before the court the defendant will eventually be let out of stir.
if there was a death penalty 3 or 4 of the jurors on average would not be able to give a guilty verdict meaning many murderers would be walking free.
