Really, what difference does it make if a person is in prison or dead? They are about the same threat either way. There is also a very good reason why sentencing is left to emotionally stable judges rather than emotionally charged victims of crime.
All in all, it seems the only reason to have the death penalty is because some folks get a sick thrill out of seeing others die. Revenge is not justice. These aren't good people, but if someone were to murder somebody close to me, and if I murdered them, I would be sentenced to jail. Why should the state get away with it?
