The death penalty doesn't work as a deterrent. It is a political tool used by a select few to get votes. All it does is eat up a ton of money and further clog up an already clogged up court system.

If they want these guys to pay, put them in a cell and make them live there for the rest of their lives. Remove the death penalty and save everyone the drama and money.
