You would have to convince me of that. I understand they could be speaking of the time involved and the costs of appeals process, but don't forget, if you give someone a life sentence, they are going to appeal that also, and keep appealing as long as they can. So that cost will be there regardless. BTW, if one wonders if the death penalty is a deterrent, go look at the murder stats up to 63 when capital punishment was all but abolished in USA. I do not have the article, but pulled this from another site::<<< William Tucker in The New York Post traced the direct relationship between the use of capital punishment and low national homicide rates from the 1930s until the Supreme Court effectively abolished the death penalty in 1963, when murder rates almost immediately began to soar. The rates of executions and homicides have moved in tandem from 1963 to today.>>> Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
