Personally until I had a criminal justice class in college at EKU I was a 100% pro death.
However it is a proven fact that sentencing someone to death is MUCH more costly than putting them in prison with life without parole. That should tell you all you need to know about our justice system.
If the system were changed to limit the number of appeals and also the time frame then it might be better but on the other hand it has freed innocent men who were convicted before DNA testing.
One thing I am certain of is no plea agreements. If you kill someone and you either A. Admit and confess to the crime or B. Have undoubted proof against you then you should only have death or life without parole. No getting out for sure no matter the circumstance unless of course self defense but that's not murder.
In the end I'm still pro death so long as it doesn't kill the taxpayers wallet however I'd rather see someone sentence to life without parole if they are going to cost millions in tax payers money. It also removes any burden put on the wardens and executioners.
