A demographic study will produce profiles of those most likely to commit violent crimes. If we kill them now, those crimes will be prevented. Straw man. You can only be convicted of crimes you DID commit, not ones you MAY convict. These thought-experiments about what we would like to do to one individual or another have nothing to do with the social problem of lessening violent crime, statistically. And your solution is? fund the appeals You betcha. You allow them free access to expensive lawyers and courts and it costs a bundle. The solution is obvious. Except to those who are so opposed to the DP that they will do ANYTHING to stop it. I would rather put that money into programs that will keep my family safer and assist victims than into programs for which there is no evidence they will do that. And these programs are? As I said: Suppose GOOD PHYSICAL EVIDENCE were required for a DP. Does that satisfy your objections?
