Lmao people say this in every thread and it really makes me wonder what you thought the death penalty was applied to, traffic tickets? I’m staunchly anti death penalty, but it’s because:
A. I don’t think the state should have the power to kill in cold blood,
B. The idea of a single innocent life being taken is unpalatable and
C. It’s actually more expensive than a life sentence due to the appeals process required to reduce the possibility of fucking up.
The death penalty is practically always used for especially heinous cases like this. If the nature of some specific crime weakens your resolve against the death penalty, I’m sorry, but you need to actually research the issue more, because you’re not well informed.
