I see no problem with the death sentence providing the crime was worthy of it. I just think it should be done quicker and cheaper so our prison population is polluted with people on death row who cost thousands to kill. I think the dealth penalty should be instated for child rape/murder and personally I think rape (forced rape not "I was drunk when I said yes." which is still bad but...) in cases should carry the sentance. If a man has it in his head to beat and rape a girl to get what he wants then there's something wrong with him that incarceration won't fix.

"Death penalty trials cost an average of 48% more than the average cost of trials in which prosecutors seek life imprisonment"

Legal crap, always.

As far as movies there are a lot of gratifying revenge flicks. Crow, Leon, I Spit on Your Grave, Oldboy, Gladiator, Memento, and Count of Monte Cristo. Who couldn't smile when Inigo looked to be getting beaten but simply got back to his feet only to plaw forth with, "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die."


*SAW spoilers*

The movie comparrison really translates well if you viewed Saw the day it released in the theaters. When you watch it and Zep enters the bathroom only to get a severe beating by the toilet tank cover wielding photography the theater clapped and cheered. Now they thought he was the one who killed everybody when in fact he merely kidnapped the doctor's family and was GOING to kill them. Had they found out he wasn't the real "bad guy" I wonder if they would have applauded...
