The Death Penalty

I'm a moderately pro-life libertarian.  I don't really know much about the death penalty yet, and haven't formulated a position on it yet.  My initial inclination is to be against it, but I'm not sure yet.  If anyone has some strong views on this from a libertarian perspective, and would like to influence me, speak up, now is the time.

Also, the death penalty doesn't kill *innocent* people, unlike murder, with the exception of those few cases in which someone innocent gets convicted.  But, keep in mind, if we didn't have the death penalty, those innocent people would just get thrown in jail, which is pretty bad as well.
