Some would see the death penalty as cruelty to a human being, in actuality it's just what states it is: A penalty. A penalty is something that you pay whether by cash, trade, but in this discussion the penalty is life. Both sides will be discussed in the issue of capital punishment, and then you decide are for or against?
The death penalty is a punishment that neither satisfies the criminal nor the criminal's associates or family. The death penalty is a crime within itself, to take a life in loss of a life does not restore life. The death penalty is clear and simple. The court system is ill-adjusted during murder trails the courts select juries who only believe in the death penalty. How is fair trail? If the jury already has execution on their mind, don't you think it would hard for them to be an objective jury?

if you read Bible, you can see there capital punishment is only source for anybody who deliberately killing anyone and that too under three witnesses adhere to to the same

In the Bible they also stoned women. There are many things in the Bible that must be read in their original historical context.

in my personal opinion I would say yes to that as a penalty for those who committed heinous crimes such as murder, homicide, rape etc. provided that it is executed thru a lethal injection- it is one way, I'd say, to at least lessen the ballooning number of abhorrent acts in our society especially here in the Philippines. Bro. Eddie Villanueva of the famed Jesus Is Lord Fellowship once had a statement that it is biblical, and I don't have any idea why or how is that so. Though I don't belong to his fellowship but I still have faith on that statement.
