    I’m against killing prisoners but I’m 100% for keeping the death penalty on the books just so you can sentence all billionaires to death before graciously lessening their sentence

      Having death penalty is a bad thing in case, say, you’d require the convict to testify on something like 5-10 years after.

      Allows people in power to execute those who could, in other situation, give some evidence against them or at least information sufficient to get it.
