Well, not everywhere, and not even for that reason.
The morality of killing a prisoner who has done horrific things is not the only reason to end capital punishment. I have no moral problem with someone putting a bullet through the head of some evil thing that murdered one or more of our fellow citizens, but an honest distrust of the system we use to convict said person keeps me from supporting capital punishment.
You cannot undo capital punishment. You at least have some hope of going on if you wrongly convict someone and let them out of jail.
