It is an argument in support of the death penalty sentence.
The Best Bet Argument for the death penalty states that though we are not 100% sure that it (the death penalty) will deter or prevent future murders/crimes, we assume that as a fear for this maximum punishment, it will deter future crimes. Criminals will fear the idea of the death penalty and will therefore not commit murders.

Compare the argument Stephen B Bright who argues that the death penalty should be abolished with the opposing argument of Louis P Pojman.?
Stephen B. Bright argues that capital punishment is contrary to the best principles and positive image of the United States, that it is likely to result in executions of the wrongly convicted, and that it is administered in an arbitrary, unfair, and racist manner. Louis Pojman's case for capital punishment combines both the retributive and the deterrent arguments; and he insists that even if mistakes are made, we shouldn't give up capital punishment because of a few possible miscarriages of justice in which innocent people are executed.

How do you end an argument even if your partner will not admit his wrong?
It is a mistake to think someone has to admit they are wrong. The majority of times, there is no reason to push for it. You need to step back yourself, and ask if this argument is going to matter in two weeks, two months, or two years. If the answer is no, likely, your best bet is to just drop it.
