I don't believe in the death penalty ever. I don't see how taking another life fixes or changes anything. We have the capability of keeping society safe from dangerous people without killing the dangerous people. There are times that the dangerous people truly become reformed in thought and heart and can actually do good. It has been proven that it is not a deterrant to crime. There is no reason for it. It is barbaric. I don't think we should be playing God. It doesn't bring the victims back.
The cost becomes more for the death penalty because of all the court costs of appeals, etc.
In this particular case, I believe that this man truly reformed in his heart and was trying to do everything he could to help prevent people from acting as he did. I don't see the point in murdering him.
Only he and God know what is truly in his heart now...
