73. You should listen to Cali.
Cali is correct - you are wasting MORE money on the person by resorting to death penalties. It costs more than life in prison without parole.

That money could be better spent on health care for the uninsured, or food for people who are going hungry. Those people's lives are worth more, right? Why take resources from them to throw at this guy? Makes no logical sense.

"This guy is scum and not worth anything ... so let's divert even MORE of our scarce resources and spend a disproportionate amount of money on him instead of on people who are more deserving."

That doesn't even begin to make sense.
