I am opposed to the death penalty, but given that it does exists, should it be used in cases of egregious financial and public corruption? E.g., Bernie Madoff and the Judge in the Kids for Cash scandal. I think people like that do exponentially more harm than even the most notorious murderer.
It shouldn't be used for other crimes. With murder, there is no coming back. No chance of recovery. Let's say you were going to be the victim of a crime and had two choices: Be murdered or lose all your money. Which is worse?
