"No . They are no longer making the decisions and therefore should not be allowed to pick . However , if a criminal requests the death penalty , are there retrials to ensure the state is n't killing a innocent person ?"
"Well I do n't support ever using the death penalty but as long as we 're saying there is the death penalty and allowing them to choose then definately do n't have retrials . They should n't want to send an innocent person to prison for life either so it should have been pretty clear they were guilty already . If they do n't want to kill an innocent person , stick to life in prison ."
