If death is the penalty for being caught doesn't that make murder the better option for a rapist or a child molester?
There are people who would be prone to murder their victims anyway but if the crime was opportunistic rather than part of sadistic lifestyle and death is the punishment wouldn't such a criminal want as few witnesses as possible?

On every level the Death Penalty just doesn't make sense to me, containment (possibly permanent) makes much more sense.

So if the death penalty was removed, these people wouldn't kill their victims?
