Yes, but only for serial killers/mass murderers. It is much cheaper to convict, feed, and house someone for life in prison than the years of legal preceding it takes for someone to be executed. But some people are simply so heinous, the death penalty is warranted. What I don't want is a situation like California or North Carolina where the death penalty exists and people continue to be sentenced to death, but no one has been executed for more than a decade. The death penalty seems pointless if it doesn't actually lead to executions. California has over 500 people on death row, but it doesn't seem anyone will ever be executed in the state again.
