I suspect that people on the verge of doing something bad would have second and third thoughts. Too many people in jail now for serious crimes. Years ago I saw a TV news reporter interviewing the Nashville TN police chief, Chief Joe Casey at that time, and getting his view on the death penalty. Chief Joe Casey looked at him and said "I have never seen annyone come back from the dead and hurt anyone else." JMO
