If it is immoral/illegal for an individual to commit murder then it is only logically consistent for it to be immoral/illegal for a group of individuals to commit murder (sentence another person to death that has not transgressed directly against them). Groups of individuals do not possess magical powers that provide them with special moral privileges that individuals don't possess.

The death penalty is murder. Every judge and jurer that has given the death sentence should be locked up for the remainder of their lives. I say this as a mostly conservative leaning person. Anyone advocating the death penalty is a probably a psychopath, and should be under the care of a psychiatris...

That's construing it as murder though. It is moral for an individual to *kill*, for various reasons, and so it is moral for a group to kill for analogous reasons. A person may kill in defense of itself for example, and so a group may do the same. There's no logical inconsistency whatsoever.
