SurveyUSA: California Death Penalty unlikely to be repealed (but many undecided)

[Badger]

I just registered to vote today. I'm pretty sure I'm going to vote to repeal, but I'm not 100% decided.

California doesn't have the money to waste on the death penalty. As long as there is an option for life without the possibility of parole, I don't see why anyone wouldn't vote to repeal.

Off the top of my head, someone who already had a life sentence (actual or de facto) and commtis a homicide against a prison guard, inmate or staff member would be a convincing argument for capital punishment. Why on earth should someone get a 'free murder'?
And please, don't try to say that admin seg is even vlose to an adequate response (even if the perp isn't already in it). Would any of you try to explain the 'adaquacy' of that response to decedent's family?

Badger, doesn't someone on Death Row also get a free murder?

I wondered if somebody would ask this.

Someone on death row a) has less time of 'impunity'; and b) I submit such additional wrongdoing can adversely affect, possibly hastening, the interminable capital appeals process unlike a life without paroler who already had the keeys thrown away and almost always a MUCH more truncated appeal history.
