Cmv: death penalty should be abolished with no exceptions even for serial killers and terrorists.

I've had this conversation with a bunch of people this past week, and nobody seems to agree with me. I'm open to changing my opinion, but no one has been able to reasonably change my view, so I'm here.

As stated in the title, I'm 100% anti-death penalty. It's morally problematic, and there are other ways to punish people and bring justice. Not to mention there's a chance that an innocent person will one day be executed, and we shouldn't let that happen.

Here are a bunch of arguments people have used so far, and my answers to them. Feel free to give me your own reasons if it's not listed below:

**1. The chances of an innocent person getting executed are low / we will only execute those who we are sure are guilty.**
Even a 1% chance means 1 out of 100 is dying unjustly, there's no greater good here, someone's gonna slip through the cracks and we can't let that happen, we shouldn't just sacrifice their life.

 For each guilty person, there's gonna be someone who believes they're innocent, that's why we have trials and give them the chance to defend themselves. Yes that "someone" might be a follower, loved one, etc and in the case of terrorists their belief is most likely wrong but the fact that they exist means this person is dying because their faith was in the hands of a random group who happened to disagree with them.

**2. What if you or one of your loved ones were a victim, wouldn't you want justice?**
I don't think the death penalty is justice, it's vengeance. Would I want vengeance? Yes, but that's emotional reasoning. Rationally speaking, if they spent the rest of their life in prison, they'd suffer more, and it'd be a better punishment. They have ruined lives, and we can't just give them the sweet release of death.

**3.they might corrupt other prisoners/guards, and we can't let that happen.**
I don't disagree with this, and this one's the most likely to change my view, but I think killing someone to prevent them from spreading their ideology is just dodging the problem, we must find an actual solution instead of choosing the easy way out.

**4.it takes a lot of money and resources to keep a horrible person alive in prison** 
Again see no.3, we must find a solution instead of choosing the easy way out. Just because we're saving money doesn't make it moral.

You present counterarguments but offer no arguments about why the death penalty should be off the table in the first place.

For example, why does it matter that there are other ways to punish people?  Why does it necessarily matter that there is a non-zero chance that an innocent person will be executed?
