When it comes to dealing with murderers, what exactly is the logic behind killing them in order to teach everyone else that killing people is wrong?
I'm completely opposed to capital punishment. An execution costs far more than life in prison, and I just don't see the point in killing people in order to teach a lesson. Execution just seems like an attempt for people to achieve some sort of closure or something. It's a very vengeful and low concept, after all, killing these people doesn't fix the things they've done, it just costs time, effort and money.
