I'm against the death penalty unless it is administered at the scene of the crime while the gun/bomb is still smoking or in a shootout at a later time.
However, we could probably reach a workable compromise. Anyone who turns himself in and confesses to the crime should be excluded from capital punishment consideration, but also parole. If the suspect commits murder and then pulls a Tsarnaev, death penalty is on the table.
I don't agree with the death penalty, but I also don't care to defend the rights of people who obviously want to forfeit their rights. The end goal is creating the right incentives. If you murder once, and you're eligible for the death penalty, why wouldn't you go on a killing spree and fight the authorities?
The people who don't go on a killing spree and attack cops are probably not the people who deserve the death penalty. If you take death penalty off of the table, people will turn themselves in and confess, which saves us time and money.
