Do they to you?
I've discussed this question several times on these forums but I don't believe the death penalty is a deterrent nor do I support it as punishment.

25 does not equal 11.

That's true. If 14 less people are killed is it worth having the death penalty (hypothetically 25 less murders due to the death penalty because it's a deterrent to murder while 11 innocent people are killed by the state because of the death penalty)? Big difference between saving lives and saving money.
