Jodi Arias, the Bible and the Death Penalty

In spite of the fact that much of American Law is based upon the 10 commanments and or come from men and women who were influenced by it; fewer people today know what the Bibe says about the death penalty. Then there is that seemingly ever growing group who out of their own hearts, think they have a better idea of what is moral. I won't worry about that last group here, but I think many might find it interesting to see exactly what the Bible actually says about it.
