yes, for it shows that the prospect of death is something they will fight to the bitter end

so if life is that precious to them, wouldn't the death penalty then be seen as a deterrent for death penalty crimes?

I think it makes perfect sense

and, if they are fighting for their lives, they have been found guilty

I agree with you on the death penalty, LP, though I'm a recent convert to the anti-DP view. Have you, by any chance, read the article by Scott Turow, who was a member of the Illinois State DP commission, in last week's New Yorker?

I'm going to see if it's available online. Quite interesting reading.
