I couldn't say that I would not perform such an act.

What I would say is, that if I knew the punishment for my crime was death, then there is a pretty good chance that I would be expecting it if caught.

So in a way, THEY don't CHOSE the death sentence, it is the person's "reward", rightly theirs. The only person CHOSING it is the person to be hanged.

I think that somehow life imprisonment would only lead to him asking to be killed within 3 months anyway.
