I didn't say it was overused. I'm not against it because it's over-used. I'm against it, generally, because it's irrevocable, meaning that wrongful convictions cannot be corrected meaningfully. That's a different kettle of fish.
I have my wishy-washies when it comes to murder for hire or murder during child-molestation; but those are emotional and not rational objections, and not a sound basis in law.
I'm glad that's not my decision, too.
