Technically, the threat to society ended the day the person was incarcerated for their crimes. Killing someone who is imprisoned on death row can no longer be considered self defense. It is murder.
Capitol punishment is nothing more than legalized murder. It is certainly not a deterrent to violent crime.... based on what we see happening in our country on a daily basis.
