I know 4 people who have been convicted of murder.

The first I worked with and was always a tad strange. He packed in his job, went to live in London and the next his name was all over the papers for killing his tgirlfriend and nastier stuff. The bells put him in Broadmoor.

The next was my next door neighbour, he started to suffer MS. He killed his wife in frustration at her behaviour towards him. The Prison system could not cope with him and he was released on licence next door to me. Nice chap.

The next was again a guy I worked with, he came home to find his wife in bed with another guy and the inevitable happened. He was released after about 8 years on licence.

The last is my mates bro. He shot back at a guy who shot at him. Missed but killed him with the ricochet, but had already publicly stated he was going to put him in a box. Serving life with a minimum of 21 years and the proceeds of crime are after a couple of million from him.

All the above would still have killed even if there was a death sentence. To argue it is a deterrent is plainly wrong. 2 above would never kill again. The other two are where they need to be.
