Louise, re >Doesn't matter how you look at it. Your loan shark guy wasn't deterred by the DP. ;-) < But he was. He didn't kill the guy until his fear of others following the example of not paying outweighed his fear of being executed. Without the DP he would have killed the guy alot sooner. I know, after all he is my loan shark guy. ggg re >I'm against using the DP as a deterrent.< Then you are willing to sacrifice the victims of those who would be deterred. This is inescapable. And absolute!!! How many innocents will die because you refuse to kill those who a jury of their peers have decided deserve to die? This is the question you and other opponents need to answer. Gotta go now. Won't have time to post or read til at least Monday so you will understand if I fail to respond.
