Deprivation of liberty for life is better than the offenders "release" through execution.
The death penalty only diminishes us as a society.
If it costs a lot of money to incarcerate them, so be it.
Let them dwell on their actions every day, just like the families and loved ones of the deceased will be doing.

I was reading this morning about a young man - in Vic I think - exonerated after spending time in jail for a rape he did not commit. A combination of contaminated evidence, a disinterested police force, a bumbling judiciary. Shameful and scary to contemplate if the stakes were higher (i.e. return of death penalty)
