Only because of the stupidity of allowing the obviously guilty to drag it out.Life in prison is too expensive.Exactly, but if you think that the death sentence doesn't serve any purpose, what do you think should have been done to those who have been executed when the authority people didn't screw up? What kind of sentence would you give a person who would be given the death sentence by everyone else?Knowing now through DNA testing that innocent people have been executed only goes to show that the government are every bit as criminal as the people they execute.
God bless you always!!!

Life in prison, no parole.
I am not just against the death penalty on a moral basis either. One of my big turning points was when they executed Tim McVeigh. He should have been kept alive so that in time he might have revealed more about the plot. But of course, the powers that be didn't want that, and he wanted to by a martyr.
How much good could have been done with the millions spent to keep the Manson creeps alive?
That is just one example.
It is well known that the death penalty costs more.
Swift and certain capital punishment is hardly as expensive as the life sentence, and for every innocent person executed, and I admit it can happen, there are probably one hundred prison murders committed by lifers.
