I love the moral direction, but this sadly doesn’t hold up to philosophical scrutiny. Is it murder to 1. Kill someone who’s about to kill someone? 2. Kill someone in a defensive war to defend your freedoms? 3. Kill someone by prioritizing things other than their medical care, eg in hospice? 4. Kill someone by letting them smoke/drink/overeat? 5. Kill someone by letting them starve? If you want to say that no country is civilized yet then hey I’m with ya. Otherwise, it’s not quite so simple. The death penalty is a tragic injustice, I agree, but just saying “it’s murder” is not a serious engagement with the issue IMO.
