I do not think that the death penalty is much of a deterrent, but is a fact that murderers who are put to death will kill no one else, and will not have his miserable life supported at taxpayers' expense.

Does the death penalty prevent future murders?

There is much discussion about whether the sentence of death deters people from murdering.

Yes No, it should not. An eye for an eye. You deserve the same fate you gave your victim.
