Whether a crime warrants the death penalty is immaterial to me. I am still against the death penalty. Life in prison would be a much more difficult punishment to endure, and certainly easier to reverse, should the convicted person's innocence be proven.
Rotting in prison for the rest of your life, especially at a maximum security prison is worse punishment than the death penalty.
Not sure people realize this, but once you are dead you feel nothing.
Perhaps people feel that after they die they go to hell.
Life in prison can't be worse than the death penalty.If it was there wouldn't be so many appeals, protests etc. against the DP. It is the worst of all punishments.
I'm still against the death penalty. The victim's family was against it. The crime was heinous, and as a black person, it hits close to home. However, I still don't think the state should have the power to take someone's life. I won't grieve this jerk's death, but the execution -- ANY execution -- should never have happened.

I used to believe this as well but most inmates adjust and actually become comfortable behind bars. Think about it, if prison was so terrible why aren't there more inmate suicides? These scum bags get fan mail and money from the whackos in free society, they get satisfaction from that.
Most of them took great delight in committing their horrific crimes and derive great pleasure in reliving the act every day they spend behind bars. Long ago I worked with some work release inmates adjusting to reentering society and they would joke about how the razor wire fence around Florida State Prison isn't there to keep inmates in, it's there to keep the recently released thugs from getting back in.
