Can you be Christian and Favor Death Penalty?

[Nation]

You can be a christian and favor the death penalty.  You cannot be a christian and be a vigilante.  Personally, I am a Christian who favors the death penalty in principle, but opposes it in practice.  I just don't have a high degree of confidence in the accuracy of our legal system. (as the recent DNA aquittals show).

Pretty much my thoughts, except I loved "Boondock Sainits"

I support the death penalty in principle, but not in practice. There's been too many close calls with innocents on death row.
