I've never believed that capital punishment is the ultimate crime deterrent.
(Never mind the fact that it's for poor folks; rich murderers can lawyer their
way out of it.)

I don't care if it is a deterrent in general, but it prevents repeat
offenses and that is good enough for me.


Ask anyone: most people would rather be put to death than spend the rest of
their lives in prison. I certainly would. I know someone who's done some
hard time; "living hell" doesn't do justice to what he experienced.

I'm a kind person and believe in giving criminals what they want. Why
be cruel and keep them locked up for years taking up space that some
other deserving criminal could be using?
