<< Maybe a few people are deterred. >>

All it takes is one. One homicide deterred justifies the entire death penalty industry. In hostage situations, police routinely use the death penalty threat in negotiations with perpetrators.

On another point you made in an earlier post, I think you are wrong. There has not been a single documented case of a proven innocent being executed in this country in the past 50 years. This despite rigorous research studies by anti-death penalty groups. If you can find one, please let us know.
