I’d rather have 100 guilty guys rot in a cell than one innocent person be wrongly executed. Until our system is error-free, I can’t support capital punishment.

that's definitely a position shared by many
In Texas where I live, there have been cases in which innocent people have been executed. Now granted, some of these guys were "bad" people, but the state executed them for murders they did not commit. We should take every step we can to guard against government tyranny--this includes limiting the death penalty drastically.
Or eliminate it altogether.
Yes I was heartened to see how much disapproval there was on your YT video for the death penalty. I tend to think of the American public as a bloodthirsty horde of gibbering madmen, so I was surprised to see this...
Yes
There is never going to be a human endeavor that is error free. To say we won't do X until it is error free is an idiotic stance to take and you should base your opposition to capital punishment on something else.
