Once that cat is out of the box, it's not you who decides how it's going to be used. I can imagine situations where DP is justified, but they're all "frontier type" situations where for reasons of extreme contingency, life imprisonment is not possible.

Example I go to is from Pakistan, I read it years ago. Pakistani politician is assassinated by Islamist bodyguards. Why? He wants to repeal repressive blasphemy laws. For political reasons, prosecution is hard. When they finally get one, he decides to seek the DP.

Why? He says that if the killers are imprisoned, they will eventually be released for political reasons. Only way to make sentence stick is to execute them.
