There can be no doubt that the death penalty is overused and abused. I ask you this, however; every five or ten years a murderer appears who is so violent, so willing and ready to kill that there is nothing else to do with him. To put such a man in prison with relatively harmless thieves is to condemn a random selection of them to death. To put such a man in solitary confinement for life if forbidden. What else can be done? If there is NO doubt of guilt, some crimes, some people, require the death penalty. Call it revenge if you like. There's nothing wrong with that.
