There are many pros and cons to the death penalty. Pros being that it will prevent the criminals from committing another crime, similar or different to the one committed previously, the death penalty costs less than LWOP, the criminals received the same punishment that they put upon someone else. The death penalty is also reassuring for the victims and families. Although there are pros there are cons such as an innocent person who was wrongfully accused of the crime would be killed, a person with a mental impairment could be charged for something they could not absolutely control, people disagreeing with the death penalties could become enraged and start arguments and riots. The use of the death penalty may soon increase and criminals who have committed a capital crime will be punished
