If you are opposed to the death penalty, would you suspend your opposition if Dzhokar Tsarnaev is found guilty in federal court of a capital crime?

I am opposed to the death penalty.

Not because I think it is immoral.

But because I see a contradiction in the fact that a fallible and (obviously) corruptible institutional political state can be allowed to make an existentially irreversible decision and kill the citizens that it is obligated to protect.

Unless, evidence is so powerful and irrefutable, that no mistake is possible.

So we will see when it comes to Dzhokar Tsarnaev.

What say you?
