But I've always wondered about the purpose of putting someone to death. That it is the maximum penalty for certain crimes in certain States notwithstanding... what does it accomplish?

As a supporter of the death penalty, and living in/around states that use the death penalty I can say that it accomplishes a lot. I'm certainly not trivializing choosing to put someone to death, but in all honesty the worst case scenarios are people who cannot be rehabiliated, who have broken the most horrible laws, etc. And if we just sentenced them to life in prison, they still have LIFE ... they still life with full stomachs every day and excersize and sun and can communicate with other people and the outside world ... and they take up taxpayer monies and space in jail and have LIFE ... therefore I think it's okay to use the death penalty because it accomplishes the main purpose: justice for those families who were wronged. __________________ Kurt is a Hall of Fame quarterback ...
