Great Falls Tribune: on Crime


Greg Gianforte: Philosophically OK with death penalty; but is it worth it?

Q: Should the state eliminate the death penalty and opt for life without parole?

A: I have no philosophical objection to the death penalty; however, we should question if it is an effective deterrent to crime and if it is worth the price.
