4. In my most humble opinion the proper thing would be to end the death penalty

As you said, once carried out the death penalty is irreversible. It really serves no purpose other than revenge, nobody committing a crime ever thinks about getting caught and what the consequences may be. If someone is guilty of a "capital" crime let them serve the rest of their lives in prison without parole.
