If there's absolutely no safe way to isolate the person from greater society, yes.

I used to support it, but then I learned that it's cheaper to keep them imprisoned for life and innocent people are executed way too much (that is to say, at all)

there are crimes that are heinous enough that death is justified, but capital punishment still should not be carried out by the state due to potential for executing the innocent, and possible abuses by the state

Only in circumstances where a convict is serving multiple life sentences without the possibility of parole and they proceed to kill someone else in prison.

Tacking on another life sentence on top of that would be less than a slap on the wrist.

I think a better punishment for heinous crimes is brainwashing them until they are addicted to Pokemon Go and then let them play all they want without being able to go anywhere.

Innocent people being executed aside.. I find it hard to believe that prison for life is cheaper than death penalty. But I never did any research on the subject so..

Just straight up executions are cheaper, but convicts on death row going through extended appeals processes is what is prohibitively more expensive.

Oh right! Yeah makes sense. I was comparing the straight up execution costs VS the life sentence.. not the death row costs. Silly me.

I find it hard to justify not killing the criminals in this case even if they are high schoolers:

Too bad they didn't get brutally executed. And it's a travesty of justice that they basically got a slap on the wrist.

I say no.

We should not give the State power to kill people.

I say no.

I'll also say that saying talking about the cost of imprisonment vs execution is an economic non-answer to a moral/ethical question.

Justified? Maybe in a perfect system. But in a practical sense I don't think it's a good idea.

If they threw all the prisoners in together and didn't offer protective custody or special needs yards this would happen on its own.

But tc's question yes there should be a death penalty, I guess, really imo you'd be doing a favor to most of the people that are sentenced to capital offenses.

The only reason to say "no" imo would be the fact that people have been proven innocent while awaiting execution.
