Against. I think the best protection for society from the worst of the worst is separation (Life without parole). If someone is safely contained then surely there is no reason to kill them? I don't think killing dangerous people is always wrong but only when they pose an immediate danger.
My personal belief is that killing someone - anyone - in cold blood is always immoral.

Also, I don't comprehend why the US is so pro-capital punishment (by western standards). I would have thought that people who think they need a personal armory to defend themselves from their own government would be against that government having the power to separate them from their arms, confine them and then strap them to a chair and kill them. I will never understand Americans.
The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. ~ George Bernard Shaw
