Also, this mentality that locking up murderers will stop them from killing, it won't. Believe it or not, people kill people in jail. These people being killed can be an innocent CO, the dude who is in there because of a DUI, the guy who violated his probation, etc.

So you care about the innocent people in jail with the killers, but not wrongly convicted innocent people being killed by the death penalty?
Because all of those other legal costs which you want to do away with are to make sure that they have the right person, appeals processes, etc. which they get wrong some of the time anyway.

Besides, i'm not saying we should keep murderers in the general population.
They should be systematically kept away from other prisoners as a matter of common sense.

It's not so much about the appeals process as it is the other things. The documenting of the death, the fact a doctor has to be present, etc. If there is definitive proof like most murders, put a bullet in their head, simple as that.

I think the death penalty should exist this world is overpopulated. Last time I check a a firing squad is a lot cheaper than housing and feeding a prisoner every year

Dying in prison is worse than being sentenced to death in prison
(as in rotting till the end rather than knowing the date and being put down)

I don't believe the death penalty should be used under no circumstances because alot of people are mistaken and arrested for crimes they haven't committed. If a prisoner have life maybe when new evidence turns up, they can be freed instead of 6 feet under

That's the problem though, they don't execute someone unless they think they have definitive proof.
It's only in the years after the execution when new technology is introduced, or new information comes to light, when they realize that they have made a mistake, but by then it's already too late.

4% of all executed prisoners in the United States have been innocent.
The way I look at it, if you're for the death penalty then all of that blood is on your hands.
