Show me an overturn in the case of a serial killer. Those are the men that will kill again if they get out and those are the ones that aren't worth the risk of keeping alive.
So you are saying it is reasonable and just to kill a criminal who murders several times but not merely once. Seems discriminatory to me, not to mention that it serves no purpose in deterrence or punishment.

And those people need to see that something bad will happen to them in order to abstain from the crime.
I have no problem with this except when that something "bad" is the DP. The DP serves as no deterrent nor does it serve as punishment so I fail to see how it is effective in either case for any murderer, serial or single instance.
