I don't trust the government with anything. The state should not have power over life and death.
Many people deserve death, but that doesn't make it a good outcome. On the whole, I don't think the pros outweigh the cons.
With that being said, my favorite Jesse Jackson quote: Capital punishment turns the state into a murderer. But imprisonment turns the state into a gay dungeon-master.

Government has no right to play god. Seems they get it wrong a lot as well.

Let the victims families decide. We know why Rev Jesse gives his .02 on the matter.
"I don't believe he was gasping for air; I don't believe he was suffering. It sounded to me like was snoring,"
Troy Hayden, a media witness from KSAZ, told reporters the execution was difficult to watch. He likened Wood's breathing to a "fish gulping for air."
"Usually it takes about 10 minutes, the person goes to sleep. This was not that," he told reporters afterward. "It started off looking as if it was going alright but then obviously something didn't go right. It took two hours." Kiefer described the sound Wood made as a "deep, snoring, sucking air sound."
I don't think we use it enough. It doesn't have to be just for murder IMO.
