Actually you are neither.You wish.
Please post anything that might support your claim .
You have forgotten yet again, I am intelligent and educated, unlike you.
Punishment is a proven deterrent WHEN the punishment is swift and certain.
"Swift and Certain" Sanctions in Probation Are Highly Effective: Evaluation of the HOPE Program | National Institute of Justice
The farce of a death penalty employed at present offers no deterrent simply because the 20 year lag between conviction and eventual execution makes the convict no more at risk of death than other people. There is no certainty any of use will be alive in 20 years.
Death next week is a very different proposition, and has a very different effect on criminals.
Here is statistical evidence supporting my claim. You won't read it, and if you did you wouldn't understand what you read. But for the lurkers.

Historically ,swift or protracted death penalties have no long term effects on crime.
Fail.
