What proof can you show supports the notion that the death penalty deters murders when murder rates appear to fluctuate independent of the number of individuals executed? LPS5

No it doesn't. Most folks who commit murder have something much more in their present state of being, at the time of the murder, than what tomorrow's gonna look like. Granted, there are some who may murder for wealth, thinking they'll be well off tomorrow. This leads to an interestesting question. Who has the answer as to what exactly causes one to murder? Is there a list? Is there one event that causes murder more than other events? Whose in the know on this? I'd apprecaite a response--thanks!
