It's a sentence. And it's cheaper than trying to execute someone.
Capital punishment is more expensive than a life term, and it's not fool-proof. And in more than a few instances, execution lets them off easy.
And multiple, repeatable studies show capital punishment is not a deterrent. So how is there a logical, rational case for it?!?
Not to mention....victims have said it's really not closure or satisfaction.
