Sent1: The question with the death penalty is not kill or give no punishment.
 Sent2: The death penalty again, in giving punishing the offender sends out a message to others that no one should kill or hurt another person which will thus serve to deter other potential killers.
Not similar

Sent1: I believe there are certain crimes where the death penalty is an acceptable punishment.
 Sent2: The way I see it, capital punishment doesn't have to be expensive at all.
Not similar

Sent1: Statistics show that capital punishment is no more of a deterrent than life without parole so I fail to see your arguement about society needing capital punishment.
 Sent2: Almost every study I've seen on the deterrent effect of the death penalty has suggested that it's no more effective than life imprisonment.
