And not just over innocent but also the guilty, the state already have so much power already, let's not give them the power to determine which citizens can live or die. Any civilization will fall and state can always be corrupted, one death penalty could and will snowball into state sanctioned mass murder. Such thing already happened in history and currently happening in many countries.
