Humans are incapable of perfect justice. The more people on death row, the more innocent people are killed by the state. 

I don’t want the state to be able to legally kill me. If I get the West Memphis Three treatments I’d rather be locked away forever as an innocent person than killed by the state.

That's the biggest issue with it. It's given to easily. A lot are giving it because of how grusome a murder is. The thing is that if you stab someone once and they die or if you multiple stab someone and then eat their body, it's still one murder. 

The severity towards society should be the main criteria, thus why I mentioned serial killers. A passion crime where a nutjob kills a few family members should warrant a life sentence. Multiple crimes of complete and unconnected strangers should warrant the killer a death sentence.

There are cases where it's clear cut. If we make it ridiculously hard to give a death sentence, that punishment will apply only to those most dangerous for society.
