The death penalty is flawed on many levels e.g. political (gives state too much power), economic (expensive), judicial (may result in wrongful killings), ethical (a whole host of these). But even if you disagree, little doubt that death is not a deterrent to those who seek to diehttps://twitter.com/gwupoe/status/1021217656786038785 …

The death penalty can remove the burden from the family of the victims, and the state can do this for them. As for death not being a deterrent, it would then cease to be a penalty to that person anyhow, so that ethic is removed.

Life in jail can achieve exactly the same thing for the families of victims.

Then why say with such confidence that the death penalty can remove the burden for the families of victims?
