Actually, I’m pretty much certain that the death penalty serves no useful deterrent purpose. If we’re going to have it, I think we need to be honest about it and admit that it’s applied for revenge.

I don’t have a problem with that.

there could be a serious economic argument for it as well, if in those cases where guilt is admitted or obvious the perp was eliminated asap…like this case
