remorse doesn't change his actions

the death penalty is not an act of revenge but a penalty appropriate for certain crimes. there are certain tiers of crimes. someone who brutally rapes another, as terrible as that is, should not get the same punishment (life in prison vs. death) as someone who blows up tons of people and damages who knows how many families minds and sense of peace

hopefully the death penalty deters others from committing crimes like this, and regardless of it does we can be certain that it doesn't ENCOURAGE said actions
