I used to be pro-death penalty because I thought everyone who got sentenced to it was basically a serial killer with no impulse control, and needed to be put to death so they wouldn't escape from jail and start killing more people. So murder was wrong, but the death penalty was about killing in self defense.

I changed my mind as I slowly learned more about real life and realized everything I believed was incorrect.

Yup, me too. I was pro-death penalty until I actually started researching it. Then I became pro-in theory but anti-in practice. I eventually worked my way to being against it both in theory and in practice.

While I wouldn't say I was ever PRO-death penalty, but into my teenage years I definitely was okay with it because I figured it was being applied by people who knew best. It did not occur to me that courts could ever be wrong, and that it was possible for someone to be sentenced to death after being convicted on the basis of something like one questionable witness statement (or, for that matter, that someone could have all the evidence against them and still get off on some technicality).

This was me. Until I started watching forensics shows in college, as well as eventually taking a Psychology/Sociology/Criminal Justice crossover course on Death Penalty and what goes into it and it opened my eyes a lot. (It helps that we got views from attorneys [one of which taught], judges, and law enforcement as well.)
