As ive said, its better to make them do something useful while they are living, and let God or whatever, take care of afterwards.
By killing them, you just let them be tottally useless.

how can they be useful?
State sanctioning the death penalty makes the state, electorate, and anyone else who agrees an accessory to murder.
Or an accessory to justice. Never use an argument that takes it's conclusion as a premise.
In terms of the application of pure logic, you're right of course, Trish.
But I find the idea of state-sanctioned murder abhorrent in any circumstances. And given that so much of US values are supposedly Christian, I find it utter hypocrisy that so many in your country also seem happy with the death penalty. The old saw of an eye for an eye comes from the Old Testament, not the new. Part of the bible, yes, but not part of the Christian creed.
murder go's on all the time in prison usually sponsored by gangs or organised crime what does the justice system think of that?
and the justice system is perverted in and out of prison and even the judges are frightened
Slice & dice. Salvage the parts.
what parts? i always liked the French system"guilty until proven innocent" makes it harder to weasel out of it
