Because killing people doesn't show others that killing is wrong.
I'm not against it for moral reasons, rather because it has failed as a deterrent.
The problem being that most of the cases eligible for the death penalty involve a criminal who doesn't worry about death until after the crime takes place (armed robbery gone wrong, serial killers, sexual homicides).
People like that haven't been put off by the death penalty, so it doesn't work.
Is it normal that I'm against the death penalty for literally anyone?
