And so how do you pro rate the death penalty and who gets it? Killing a cop gets the death penalty, killing an innocent child does not? Killing by a psychopath (yet to be determined here) gets it, someone robbing a bank and killing an innocent teller does not?
Is death that black and white to you? What are the circumstances that merit the penultimate penalty? And who will be deemed to be the judge of that?
As a society, I think you either have the death penalty in all circumstances or you do not, I can not see a grey area in between. A death, no matter how violent, is still a death.
