I disagree. Do you really beleive the death penalty is a deterrent? I don't. If it was, the states which have the death penalty would have fewer murders, and the opposite would be true in states that do not.

Death penalty is not a deterrent.

It's a punishment.
Hence; death penalty

NO...I see as an act of revenge.
And I am comfortable with that.

Demographics have more to do with capital crime rates than the death penalty.

The death penalty is about justice.
