What is the point of killing someone for killing? Is it supposed to prove a point to the public? If so, it is certainly not working. Studies have been done and have found that in states that have the death penalty, it has not made a difference in the number of murders. There is no reasonable argument for it. If we kill killers, are we going to rape rapists? It just doesn't make sense. It costs more money to kill someone by lethal injection than life in prison, it takes an average of 15-18 years from trial to execution. If anyone can think of a reasonable argument for the death penalty, I want to hear it.
