I think the death penalty shouldn't be an option. If somebody was thought to have done a crime and went on death penalty and then later was found to be innocent, there's no going back. Death is too harsh for any type of crime. There are more options such as life without parole. Death doesn't seem like a punishment because when they're gone then they're gone and they don't have to suffer from other punishments. Jail time is much more of a punishment than death.
