Because they can’t bring him back from the dead and give him back to them and say sorry. That would make our government look horrible and that would make the police force look horrible to because there could always be that chance that the individual was an African American then other people would say that the government or the police force is racist. Then the country or state would have a riot and would half or maybe even forced to kill or harm other people just for them to look like a bad person when in other people’s eyes they would say “They did not half to kill anyone.” And a number of people would agree with that person. Also other families could sue the government because the government killed an innocent person and the government would be stuck because they gave the executioner the go ahead to kill a person who did nothing to deserve it.
In conclusion I do not think that the death penalty should not be active anywhere. Not in any other state or country because of the fact being that a judge has a choice and that judge could always just give out death penalties and not know the full story of what happen. Killing another human would not even have any consequence to any of the other criminals because if anything what if crime would just raise and there goes the economy and the government because there will be riots
