The only downside I see to the death penalty is by all reports it currently costs more to carry out a death sentence than to maintain a prisoner for life.
Did you watch the video? Its basically a solved case...
but the case has not been adjudicated yet, and until that point in time, AND he is found guilty, you never know what will happen. how many cases, even ones like this, have been overturned on appeal, or the defendant was acquitted in the initial trial? remember OJ? perhaps some defense lawyer can find a technical reason to have the tape thrown out of court, and that may end the case right there.

its not the type of execution that matters, its the constant appeals that the taxpayers pay for that cost the money.
Yes, but those appeals are mandated by state laws that were drawn to comply with Gregg v. Georgia.
A lot of pro death penalty people complain, but those appeals were the price to get the death penalty back to legal status.
