Surely a point is that some crimes that stoke the highest sentiment for the death penalty - for example the Russell murders, Moors, the Wests, Savile, Hughes and Bone, Everard, Shipman and so forth - occurred without both ten witnesses and CCTV. Your criteria may net a suicide bomber but not others that cause social outrage. I think you should go back to your drawing board for a re-sketch.
