It shocks me how a human wouldn't mind stoning another human because of what they did to them. I don't think I could ever kill someone in that way and hear them suffer and die. I think for the people who agree with capital punishment that it should be kept to only something that doesn't cause the person to suffer.

Well if someone knows that they will be killed if they kill, that is pretty self inflicted.
Show me 3 cases of this happening. Cases that have happened recently, and in the developed world. Cases from the 1800's are inconclusive seeing as the eveidence than wasn't nearly as good as it is now a days.

Twelfth death row prisoner released in Illinois after being proven innocent

A Question of Innocence
http://www.aclu.org/capital-punishment/question-innocence
On April 8, 2002, Ray Krone was released from prison in Arizona after DNA evidence proved that he was not responsible for the 1991 murder of a Phoenix bartender. Krone became the 100th person exonerated and released from death row since 1973. Convicted twice for a brutal murder, Krone spent ten years in prison, two of them on death row. The DNA evidence that ultimately proved his innocence also implicated the real murderer.
Unfortunately, Ray Krone's story is not unique. As of February 2004, 113 inmates had been found innocent and released from death row. More than half of these have been released in the last 10 years. That means one person has been exonerated for every eight people executed.
