  That's a movie. What argument are you even making? Movies aren't reality.
context: i have no real moral objections to the death penalty, just pragmatic ones
  it's very expensive
  if the person is guilty of something heinous enough to warrant it then it seems like life in a cage would be a worse punishment
  but mostly the moment we found out we executed even one innocent person we should have stopped all of it (nevermind the almost 200 exonerations since the early 1970s) >
  
  These are my feelings as well. I'm not going to cry over this particular murderer/rapist, but as an institution, it's inefficient and kills innocent people. >
  
  Yeah, I would let the state execute 1 innocent person and 200 murderers, rapists or terrorists than spend time, resources and personnel on those 201. >
  
  And if you were the one innocent in question? >
  
  My boy, I'd be a willing sacrifice. I'd take that deal. >
  
  No you wouldn't. This is absolute horseshit. >
  
  Have you ever seen Inglorious Basterds? In the car cinema scene in the end of the movie, did you ask yourself if there was a single innocent person in that room? If there was, would you stop the plan of blowing up the German high command? Yeah, I thought so.
