I'm against death penalty because innocents can sometimes get killed.

Is there any reason why precaution should not be favored over freedom here? Because I think I've shown a sound reason why it should be, you don't want society allowing and doing something similar to murder or same as murder. If it's not proven either way, then it maybe similar to murder. Therefore it's logical to not take that chance.
