Why would he be executed at all?

If my sources are correct, there were 21,156 intentional homicides in 2022, 2265 people on death row at the end of 2022, and only 17 people actually executed in that year.

How many of those 17 people executed committed a single murder and no other crimes? If somebody else wants to do the research and prove me wrong, go ahead, but I'm going to assume that it's 0. So, in the US, apparently we must have certain special laws that only protect wealthy celebrity propagandists and wealthy health care CEOs.

This isn't the sort of crime that we execute people for in modern America. Even people who support the death penalty should agree with this.
