Well, part of it is political reasons. A recent shooting death of a Hatch police officer makes severe punishment popular, and she is pushing to reinstate the death penalty for those who kill children and police officers. She is a former prosecutor, and has probably seen a lot of bad stuff.

Death penalties make good deterrents, but in the end they usually end up costing the taxpayers more, because there are more appeals and legal struggles against that severe of a punishment.
