Although it's the DM and therefore gutter press, I don't doubt that the gist is correct.
The problem with the death penalty for me is that people with power abuse their power endlessly, they make mistakes continually, sometimes deliberately. How many innocent people would be killed? How many innocent people would be waiting to die c/o the death penalty and they'd regularly fuck that up I imagine. Oopsy, I injected it into the skin by mistake. 🖕
Just like the baby was left with them to be killed despite obvious multiple flags. Seriously. How 🤷
I'd like to hope he'd be ended in prison. However, I believe a significant proportion in prison will be sociopathic, like he has to be to act this way ( or a psychopath).
No easy answers to dealing with these ghouls. They shouldn't pro create, but again, we can't enforce that because it would cross too many lines and they'd abuse and balls that up too if we enabled anyone power over that choice.
