Omg you are proposing such a hugely distorted justice system. The punishment for making a bad decision on a deal presented to you should not be death. If your crime deserves the maximum sentence, and you are in subway helpful to the criminal justice system, then maybe you deserve a pass. However, if you didn't commit the crime, or if there is reasonable doubt as to whether you did, I don't care if you mooned the DA when they offered a plea bargain: you shouldn't get killed. That's not arbitrary justice. That's just justice. You can't justify punishing innocent people. Now, the nice thing about other punishments is, in the case where justice if misapplied, you can try to make up for it later. With the death penalty, that option isn't available to you, which is one of many reasons people question whether it at all makes sense.
