The death penalty is one of the most inefficient and costly elements of our entire criminal justice system.
Sure, but it's effectiveness as a deterrent is not non-existent right? I mean, it has to deter some crime. Do you really not think that over a 20 year period it doesn't deter 5 killings?

Maybe some. I have a hard time imagining the deterrent effect being great enough to outweigh the burden the death penalty places on the taxpayers. That's not even going into the morality of it or the fact that innocent people will inevitably be executed - which is completely and utterly unacceptable.
