From what I have seen, the difference in giving someone a true life sentence and the death penalty is not particularly significant; and I'm not certain that the death penalty is particularly practical at this point in time. I'm not against it if a person has received a fair trail and been convicted by their peers, but when someone is going to be in prison for 20+ years and have millions of dollars of court-cases and appeals before they receive it I don't see it as being any different than life in prison.
