I think that Biblically, the death penalty is acceptable. God used it constantly in the Old Testament, and also used it in the New Testament (Ananias and Saphira). While I would prefer a court to sentence a person to life in prison rather than the death penalty, I do believe that the death penalty is acceptable.

Peace and prayer,
Gabriel
