Reason:

jamgiller made a reasonable argument, that implementation of the death penalty more often in cases,
Would lead to innocent deaths.
jamgiller used sources,
Was more legible by saying 'anything,
And better conduct, by being there for the debate.

I suppose one could argue be more liberal with 'enacting the death penalty,
But then limit it to cases that are beyond doubt,
Though, with how many times cases have messed up evidence with the wrong DNA or browbeating an innocent accused into confessing,
The number of beyond any doubt cases goes down,
And I suppose one can 'always doubt. . .

Anyway,
Doesn't matter, as PipTheWarrior made no arguments.
