I support executing some people convicted of murder because – and only because – I believe that it deters other murders. If I did not believe that, I would oppose capital punishment, because revenge and other possible motives should not be a basis for public policy.
这包括死刑。我支持处死被定罪的杀人犯是因为我相信死刑可以震慑其他杀人犯，别无其他。如果我不相信这一点，我就会反对死刑，因为报复和其他可能的动机不应当是公共政策的基础。
