It's been shown time and again that the families of murder victims do not feel the closure from the death penalty that they expect. So, it fails as a deterent because of the necessity of a long process. It fails as a method of retribution as people are not satisfied by it. And it carries a very real risk of wrongly killing an innocent person. Those three bullet points are more than enough for me to call it completely useless and irresponsible.
