Reply #45: Such people might anyway

We know that not every convicted killer gets the death penalty. Some states don't allow the death penalty of course so any killer there could just go on a killing spree and not worry about the death penalty. Others, usually richer more socially accepted people, use their charm and talents to convince jurors that they didn't really do it or that they are less of a danger than someone else.
One of the arguements for the death penalty is that killers are like rabid dogs and their lives have no use because they are dangerous besasts. I am against the death penalty anyway, but if I were alright with people being executed I'd rather it be someone who was causing harm in prision, like raping and assaulting other prisioners, than someone who is trying to contribute something to society. If a person's life still hads value and they are not harming other prisioners, what good does it do to execute them years after the fact?
