The examples he gives for why we should end the death penalty are almost all people who weren't given the death penalty because the legal process exonerated them before they were executed. I don't expect any process to be perfect, but he has one example of someone who may (or may not) have been executed for a crime he didn't commit. I'm against the death penalty - it is too much power for a government to have. I am slightly less against it after reading Paul Graham's argument. I guess that's called an own goal.
