I do. I guarantee the homicide rate in the U.S. would more than double. Hell, if I knew that I could kill someone and just have to do some time, there would be some people I would like to off.
not one study proves that the death penalty is a deterant.

and maybe the reason you'd kill someone if you wouldnt face the death penalty is because you have no conscience.
