In my mind it is not worth the risk. The cost of keeping a prisinor in prison is between 100k and 150k per year or .5 cents per murderer per Canadian per year. I am willing to pay that amount of money to keep a possibly inncocent person alive indefinately.

I'm mostly against the death penalty but in cases where there are multiple witnesses,DNA,video evidence and the crime is unusually cruel I'm all for it.
* multiple murders (like this one)
* rape and kill a child (I'd like to kill them myself)
I don't think too many would shed a tear if Paul Bernardo was put to death
