Why should the american tax payer pay to keep his sorry ass alive when that money could be used to save many lives or improve others. He isn't safe to release, he has taken many lives as long as we are certain of his guilt he deserves to die. I can understand a waiting period to make sure the evidence is thoroughly checked but then he should be humanely and privately killed and his ashes should be scattered and not given back to the relatives.

He may have genuine regrets for what he has done or he may just be pretending but whatever he has taken away the lives of others and those people are gone completely from existence and so should he.

We allow good people to starve to death in poor countries so we can certainly let evil scum be put to death who had huge advantages in life but still took innocent lives.

It's actually more expensive to put somebody to death than it is to keep it hem in prison for life.

personally, I just don't think the death penalty makes sense. I don't think our justice system should be in the business of revenge. They should be making our country safer and keeping someone in prison for life does that just as well as killing them.
