Life in prison without parole keeps one out of society.
If the death penalty were any kind of a deterrant, why are there thousands
on death row? They don't seem to deterred.
Now if tomorrow, every death row person were executed (electric bleachers) then maybe a deterrent would exist.
The penalty of death is for justice to be carried out based on the crime.
Some crimes warrant it. Others do not.
All this has nothing to do with duty to retreat.
