My take on capital punishment is a bit different, but I believe it'd make an impact.
If a person kills someone else, that person should die by the exact same way they killed their victim. If the killer stabbed someone, they shoud be stabbed. If they shot someone in the chest and let them bleed to death, that should be their fate as well. To wrongs may not make a right, but facing the exact same wrong may persuade the killer not to commit the first wrong.
The whole "cruel and unusual" punishment amendment prohibits this, but I think it'd be damned effective.
