Back when I was young I was all for the death penalty, but there have been far to many death row inmates who have been set free after DNA proved they didn't do the crime they were convicted of. Also, if you have money and can afford your own attorney you are going to be better off than someone with a overworked public defender. The OJ Simpson trial taught me that. Besides, once someone is dead their troubles are over.
Another thing about the death penalty is it cost the tax payers a lot more to execute a inmate than it does to keep them locked up for the rest of their lives. Those lawyers and all of the appeals they file cost a fortune and it takes forever before the sentence is carried out.
