I think one of the reasons for death penality is the financial aspect.
the state does not have to pay so much for dead guys instead of guys who are on their paylist for 50 or 60 years.
In Germany you'll get free after a maximum of 20 or 25 years for terrorism or mass murder for example.
"ordinary" murderers for example get 15 years max. |
That's actually not true. You'd be surprised how much it costs to kill someone. Especially considering that nobody in their right mind would pass up the appeal process, so that's more court dates, more lawyer fees, etc, etc, ad nauseum. It's actually cheaper in the long run (usually) to let them live.
I don't have a source for this, but I'll look for it later.
