time innocent people may have been convicted but evidence gathering techniques have improved dramatically. obviously only people 100% guilty DNA etc should be executed.

Are we really a society that believes that killing someone as punishment is the right thing to be doing? If you answered 'yes' to that, then which do you think is more of a punishment: Being humainly exectuted, or being caged for the rest of your 'natural' life?

Capital punishment is execution,
Corporal punishment is spanking/smacking
but yeah we could also extend it to other crimes such as assault, fraud, adultery, parking offences non payment of court fines, late library books,
This would greatly speed up the judicial system.
I call this system Direct Response Against Criminal Offenses, and make the defendant 100% guilty unless proven innocent by DNA, after all if there is any DNA at the crime scene, the defendant must be guilty

Again, there has to be degrees. Date rape will have 100% positive DNA, should the person be executed for that? I think that is too harsh.

There is never 100% certainty with DNA evidence. Simple as that.
