For the most part I am against but then I here about those horrible people that kill/torture children and I think some people don't deserve to live. What if we had a maximum number of people that we could kill every year like 5 so then only the worst crimes would receive this penalty.
Not arguing on the death penalty, but the problem with your suggestion is that the number of people killed may not necessarily mean a more serious crime. A single barbaric death can be more serious than 5 simple murders depending on the circumstances.
No I mean only 5 people would be sentenced with the death penalty.
