Some things I didn't know or realize before my class in law school:
-- It is not a deterrent because most people who commit murder do not really account for it in their "decisionmaking"
However, my true feelings are that I am very uncomfortable with state-sanctioned killing. I think on some level it is like "playing God". And I don't feel that anyone should do that.

good post. I didn't ever think it would be a deterrent to anyone who would kill someone, it was more like i thought "whew, glad they're gone!"
