Subject: Re: Federal death penalty
They should be eliminated so the rest of us can be safer. What is the point in spending taxpayer money to keep them healthy for 50 more years?

Three things.

1) Executing someone ends up costing more than incarcerating them for life due to all the appeals.

2) The death penalty has never been shown to be an effective deterrent.

3) Innocent people get executed.

There are evil people I wish dead, but the death penalty should be abolished.
