What are the reasons criminals would be freed from the death penalty?

Answer:
first of all if the prosecution does not gunner enough evidence to cremate the criminal it will be very hard for the criminal to be jailed. the prosecution need to have evidence. on the other hand if it is proven that the criminal had the mensrea to commit the actus of that crime and the prosecution proves beyond reasonable doubt then the accused will be found guilty of the offence. death penalty is not a hefty punishment as such because the criminal will die but what would he have learnt ? anyhoo back to the question if the crime committed was done involuntarily and the accused can prove this then the judge might be lenient in his sentencing and also if they get pardon from the president. if also the accuse enter a plea bargain with the prosecution.
