By whom?
If Tookie goes tonight, he will never harm another living soul or commit another crime (even against another inmate or a guard).
Tookie gets the ultimate deterrent.
If there actually was a death penalty carried out in a reasonable time, it would be a deterrent. As it is today, with appeals dragging it out for 25 years, it's not a deterrent.
If Tookie's Crips had seen him fry about six months after his trial, they would be deterred.
