In reply to Liston Matthews. @Mark and @Liston That can be true. However capital punishment is often sold as a deterrence against the initial crime. We need to be honest about what it is. It's about justice.

In reply to Tec's Dad. "The death penalty, when used properly and efficiently" The requires those gaming the justice system to secure a false or legally unsafe conviction be themselves tried for either attempted or first degree murder, without any immunity.

In reply to Jim B. Always saw it as an ideal to aspire and work towards. And with modern evidence methods and requirements I would say for the last 30 odd years we far exceed that ratio anyway. At this point denial of appropriate justice is a grave disservice to the victims. Especially with commies pardoning murderers lately.

In reply to Brad Mueller. Honestly this is one of the main points of the death penalty. Diffuse and deter blood fueds. Which of course tend to come up more where justice is lacking.

Do you want to eliminate the drama?
A small room with one door, no windows, and heating ducts taped over.
A wooden chair with arms and some leather straps to tie the inmate to it.
A Fitbit or Apple watch to monitor heartrate over Bluetooth.
Strap him on the chair, bring in a tank of nitrogen, open it, walk out and close the door. Over a period of minutes, determined by the size (cu ft) of the room, the oxygen in the room will be displaced by nitogen.
When the percentage of O2 is reduced from 21%to around 8.5%, he will lose consciousness. The only stress is psychological, since the CO2 level is being maintained by simply breathing – air is normally 80% nitrogen- there is no sensation of suffocation. When the percentage of O2 falls under 7.5% his heart and/or breathing will cease. When the watch says no heartbeat, give it 15 minutes, open the door send in guys in fire-fighter breathers to remove the body. Turn off the nitrogen and ventilate the room.
About as humane as you can get – a lot more than most of them deserve. Cheap- capital expenses: chair, straps plastic and tape for vents, nitrogen tank and fitbit watch, all reusable. Operating expense- refill tank. Less than 600 bucks initially and about $35 per use.
Why the hell has no state done this?
