I think that the case Jag brought forward is an absolute argument against the death penalty. Nothing more should be said. We, of course, as a habit will debate this argument to death. Any oppinion, no matter how strong, crumbles after 2 dozen people have expressed their opinion.

Also, I believe that judges and jury should be held accountable in such cases. If you destroyed a person's life by wrongfully convicting him you should go be a guest at the big house yourself.
What I meant by mental damage is like person who is clearly mad like a mental disorder.

If the person could do logical thinking like planning how he is going to kill and who he is going to kill etc, then he isn't mentally damaged but his simply dangerous to be kept alive.

If that makes sense.
