Add to that the fact that the death penalty costs taxpayers more money than a life sentence and I really see no point.
The death penalty is more of societies vision of vengeance than an actual penalty.

I agree that the way it is set up now, it IS WAY too expensive. We definitely need to have a way to make the system less expensive and more efficient.
For example (though this doesn't have to do with the death penalty itself), I like the way that they set up prison in Maricopa county AZ. There is NO Cable TV, NO Gym, NO video games, NO Porn, NO cigarettes, crappy clothes, cheap food, etc....
