the death penalty is not about deterrence, but about adequate punishment for the crime. if you murder someone you have lost the right to your own life. but in my belief the death penalty should only be applied if the defendant voluntarily admits their guilt without coercion regardless how obvious the evidence is otherwise. this removes any deterrence effect because a defendant can always plead not guilty. |
