The problem with the death penalty for a crime is that it cannot be evenly applied.
Someone with $5,000,000.00 to spend on their defense will have an infinitely better chance of either reducing the sentence or beating the case than a poor guy with a public defender.

So true. If you are poor, you are often screwed, not to mention if you can't afford bail you may have to sit in jail for months waiting for a trial so even if you are found innocent you will have lost your job, potentially your home, and had your life all fucked up.
