>>Keyes had a good point here that it was needed as a deterrent (jury still out on that from what I have read, crack heads usually don't give much thought as to if they are going to get the death penalty if they off some dude for enough cash for the next rock).<<

The jury will forever be out on this because it is impossible to collect statistics on "murders not committed because the assailant feared the death penalty." We have to go with our gut on this one. Given how hard the vast majority of convicts fight to avoid the death penalty, I would think it is a deterrent....
