Perhaps. The death penalty has lots of murky areas as well, such as the recent controversy around executing mentally-challenged folks. There is no easy path to determining when to take a life, which is why this is a complex issue.
Personally I don't support the logic of using the death penalty to influence behavior, but you brought it up.
