While in some types of crime I would absuluteley use it (mass murderers, child rapists etc.), the problem with it is that you can't take it back. There have been and will be cases of innocent peolpe eho get convicted. If they are imprisoned they can be released and given restitutions. If they are executed they are basically murder victims. Thus I think it shouldn't be used, because humans are not all-knowing.
