murder: the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.

If a legal system grants the death penalty, it isn't murder under that legal system.

That same 4%+ would exist with or without the death penalty so the death penalty isn't the problem. It should be unacceptable that any innocent people suffer under false judgement.
