I support the present system generally. If we are dealing with a rapid mad dog, excute him. For some others, life without parole and we bear the cost. For some crimes of passion, or whatever like my friend who killed his girlfriend in college for some crazy reason, he serve time-18 years , and was able to return to society. These are all hard calls. But no argument other then revenge supports the death penalty conclusively. The rest of the proposals- cost, protection of society, rehabilitation, are all debatable. Pure "pay back" is why we do it for the most aggregious murders. Europe no longer follows this , even England.
