I’m not going to get into the whole morality debate over the death penalty but from a strictly financial standpoint as you brought up, it costs MORE to go through all the trials and paper work and paying judges/lawyers, ect than it does keeping someone in jail for the rest of their lives.

Besides, a man that decides to stab babies is OBVIOUSLY not in the right state of mind. (that may be a dramatic understatement) This man should never see the outside world–or any babies–ever again but an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind

I don’t believe in killing people, full stop. I think it is an intellectual cop-out to start saying well let’s not kill anyone, except….

Killing people is wrong, I think, although as I said, I understand why people would argue the opposite, which is why we need an impartial arbiter of justice and punishment.

They should let the parents have a go at him like in Margaret Atwood’s “Handmaid’s Tale” when the state let the Handmaids tear a rapist apart.
