it is not a deterrent
I promise you, if you execute somebody, they will never harm another person.
Death is the final deterrent.
LOL True, but I think life in prison with no release will do the same thing at a much lower cost.
(But I think you know that I meant a deterrent to other people. 555)

Bullets are fifty cents. Rope is reusable.
Less humane, but we've killed many a cow with a sledgehammer. Also reusable.

LOL But that is after 20 years or so. Before then, teams of lawyers filing appeals. Probably more than one guard per death row prisoner, etc.

That's a whole nuther problem.
I have no problem with the death penalty. But when we use it, guilt should be assured.
If guilt can be determined with a very, very high degree of certainty, appeals should few and succinct, with a loss of appeals followed with a swift execution

Death penalty for fraud:
https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/11/business/truong-my-lan-vietnam-fraud-death-sentence/index.html
A court in Vietnam sentenced real estate tycoon Truong My Lan Thursday to death over her role in a 304 trillion dong ($12.46 billion) financial fraud case, the country’s biggest on record, state media reported.
At the end of a trial in Vietnam’s business hub Ho Chi Minh City, the chairwoman of real estate developer Van Thinh Phat Holdings Group was found guilty of embezzlement, bribery and violations of banking rules, state media reports said.

There are too many cases where 20 years later the conviction gets overturned.
As for the costs, most of that is bull. Let’s say it costs $100,000,000 to run a prison that holds 1,000 men. That breaks down to $100,000 per prisoner. So you can point to the death row inmate and say he’s costing the state $100,000 per year. Sounds good, but it’s bullshit. If the guy was executed, they would still be spending the $100,000,000.
