How about:

1) It's been abused, especially along race/class lines
2) It's bloody expensive (~3x more than simple incarceration)
3) There's no evidence to support it as a deterrent
4) It leaves no room for appeal and thus denies due process
5) It's cruel and unusual
6) It's barbaric; aren't we past that?
7) It inflicts punishment on survivors of the deceased who weren't

   convicted

Maybe there's more; I didn't give it more than about 20 seconds of thought.
