  1. The death penalty is supposed by its adherents to have deterrent value. I suspect that value doesn't hold well while in the throes of passion. Since the majority of murders are acts of passion, there's no good reason to expect a great deterrent effect from the death penalty. What is the purpose of incarceration: correction, or punishment--or just sequestration?
