The death penalty is a waste of everybody’s time and money while provably providing no benefit to society, which you would know if you were basing your comments on any evidence. It costs more than life imprisonment, tying up state resources in endless appeals, it does not function as a deterrent on crime, does not improve the mental health outcomes of victims’ families, and some percentage of those convicted are innocent and they get murdered anyway. No benefit, all costs, but you aren’t attacking that.

Instead, you’re in here awfully blasé about basing your assessment on when the state should end peoples’ lives on your own arbitrary emotional criteria.
