I wouldn't vote to re-introduce the death penalty here, but I don't waste much sympathy on those who knowingly commit capital crimes in countries that have capital punishment.
Australia did have the death penalty and the last man hanged was not guilty of the crime he was hanged for. The death penalty can't be undone and I don't believe having the death penalty is a deterrent.
Just my 2 cents worth.
