The argument that prisoners face more punishment with life in prison than the death penalty seems needlessly vengeful to me. I am staunchly liberal. But I am not in support of paying for the continued existence of a person doomed to die in prison. Kill him (or her, in the extremely rare circumstance) and get it over with. I agree with the concern of executing the wrong individual. I am not for a gallows outside the courtroom in case of a guilty verdict, but I don't think killing is wrong in this case.
