There are no statistics to show that the death penalty acts as a deterent and most families with a murdered family member report no feeling of satisfaction when their killer is put to death.

While I do not disagree with your statement , you have to agree , if we put the worst of the worst , multiple rapes/murders , to death , the victims and their families never have to worry about the scum bag getting out and commiting another violent crime .
