It cost more than life in prison and I doubt it really deters anyone from similar crimes. And it just seems wrong to me to kill someone.

On the other hand, someone like that guy who held those women for years in Cleveland, would deserve death in my opinion.
Only because we tarry about with it, excessively. There is no reason why killing a convicted murderer should cost very much. A bullet through the brain and a box in addition to paying the executioner and someone to mop up the mess. Few hundred bucks, maybe a grand at the most.
