   Assure me that everyone ever executed was guilty and I’ll agree to the death penalty. If not, then we have murdered the innocent in the name of justice.

So let me get this straight-- is it conditional for me to prove that everyone ever executed actually committed their crimes and then you’ll agree to the death penalty?

You’ve summed it up very nicely, except that you state it as an absolute rather than a condition for me to even consider the question.

  
What about the fate of a man who kills 5 women and children during a botched bank robbery where he is captured at the scene. Presumably, then, you feel comfortable enough to execute him?

Here’s a sword - are you willing to personally execute him yourself? No, it’s not a facetious question.

(...) Do I have to kill him with a sword? Cuz I always wanted to try whipping a person to death with a wet noodle. Or or or, maybe forcing him to eat bananas until he croaks. Now that would be an execution!! -Lenny (19 years ago, 4-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) That may present a problem, but not because of a lack of volunteers. Didn't several hundred members of our civilized and Christian nation sign up to help execute Gary Gilmore? Dave! (19 years ago, 4-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
