Conservatives don’t trust the government to administer a food stamp program, but they do trust it to carry out executions of its citizens!
I'm convinced

It makes you practical.
If we could have a foolproof, quick, inexpensive death penalty paradigm, I would still be against it for philosophical reasons. But we can’t, or at least don’t, so I see no reason for some high brow ethical debate. It’s a giant money pit with practically no societal benefit. It’s fricking insane.

Honest answer is prisoners make more money for the prisons than corpses do.

There was a guy where I live that was convicted of murder. No doubt he did it. The jury was going to decide between life without parole or the death penalty. Guy told the judge frick that just give me the death penalty. Judge said I can do that and gave him the death penalty. Took 8 years to give the guy what he wanted.

Appeals should be illegal in cases where we know for certain the person committed death penalty-worthy crimes
How would we know for certain?
Innocent people have confessed to murders for various reasons.
DNA evidence is not foolproof, accidental transfer of DNA got a homeless man wrongly charged with murder in California.
A video of a person committing a murder could have been somehow produced by someone wanting to frame the alleged killer.
Eyewitnesses have been proven to be wrong many times.
Law enforcement has been known to tamper with evidence to get the outcome they want.
I am of the belief we can never be certain.

Shouldn’t the death penalty ONLY be carried out when we are certain the person committed the death penalty anyway? It’s not like we can take it back.
That’s what it takes so long.

That’s sort of the exception to the rule.
Quote all the studies you want. Most people don’t do certain things because of the death penalty, like kill another person unless they really really want to.
If someone kills my wife or kids, I’m gonna kill them and not worry about the death penalty. My life is over anyway.
If they kill my dog, I’m not going to kill them. I’ll want to, but the death penalty is going to ultimately keep me from killing them.

Are you really saying that you would kill someone for killing your dog if you were sentenced to life without parole?
