You cannot penalize a crime by committing the same crime.
Capital punishment is not a crime. It is not murder. Killing in self-defense or defense of another is not murder. Killing the enemy in warfare on the battle field is not murder and not a crime. Killing a murderer under capital punishment is not murder.

Capital punishment is state sponsored murder. If and when new evidence surfaces and the murdered victim is exonerated, who should go to jail? Whom would the state murder now? Until the state can give back the victim’s life, murder is murder.
