Most countries follow the British systems of Law and Justice and I hope that they will copy the UK and discontinue the death penalty.

The death penalty always has the element of being wrong.. in Australia, the last case of the death penalty was convicted wrongly and it was removed subsequently.

Thank you for this important input.
The death penalty may also place great burden on innocent members of the family.
A notorious outlaw was killed in a shoot out with the Police about a year ago in Southern India. His daughters have to go to School under cover and their mother suffers great financial distress in trying to make ends meet. None of these ladies have ever harmed anyone and Veerappan, the gangster involved spent much of his life in hiding and away from his family.
Police in India have shoot-outs with gangsters with suspicious and frightening regularity. They rarely if ever lose, though the Courts often dismiss their prosecution. It leads to the suspicion that extra-legal methods may be a cover for shoddy investigation.
A couple of drivers of rickshaws (three-wheeled scooter taxis) in Northern India have just been sentenced for raping a tourist from Germany. Who knows if their innocence could have been established, had they been able to afford the best attorneys. Justice is expensive business and people may get a raw deal if they do not have deep pockets.
The system is simply not strong enough to support a death penalty.
