Abolish the death penalty -- better to keep someone in prison for 10-15 years and release them when new evidence comes out, with a healthy compensation. OK, it's not absolute since someone could still die in jail, but it's better than Texas's current system. And when has the death penalty brought back a murder victim?
The focus of the criminal law system should be rehabilitation of people who can be rehabilitated, and separation from the community of those who can't. Vengeance should be way down on the list of considerations.
