Dylann Roof sentenced to death for Charleston church massacre

I think the death penalty isn't really a deterrent because it is carried out so infrequently. Chicago had 762 murders last year alone, while nationally there were 16 executions. Personal opinion here, but I'd imagine if there were 700 executions last year there would be less murder on the streets.
