There are too many criminals who so richly deserve execution that it makes sense to keep it around The above mentioned killer in the Jasper, TX dragging murder, is a good example.

In point of fact, I'd federalize the crime of murder, and make capital punishment manditory. All the crimes that have been considered "midemeanor homicide" (one drug dealer killing another over turf that are usually pled down to a 10 year sentance, for example), would get the the doer executed. I'd give the defendents access to the resources to defend themselves (competent lawyers, forensics, etc.). But if convicted, they'd get one appeal to a circuit, one shot at the supremes, and that's it.

How does it serve society to kill those who are convicted, no matter the crime?

Morally it makes no sense. And even less financially.
