That's B.S.
Trust me 04nbod no one in this thread (or at least no American in this thread) will see the sense of what you just said, they will think you are (to use someone elses phrase) a "bleeding heart", with a bit of luck in a few years the US government will see sense and abolish the death penalty.
No death penalty... great, more taxpayer dollars for inmates to live in prison!
The death penalty is much more expensive than life without parole because the Constitution requires a long and complex judicial process for capital cases. This process is needed in order to ensure that innnocent men and woman are not executed for crimes they did not commit, and even with these protections the risk of executing an innocent person can not be completely eliminated.

Oh yes, it's so much better to let the murderers live for decades in prison, eating three meals a day, getting fed and clothed and sheltered with taxpayers' money, and getting visits from their family, a whole long list of things they took from their victims.
Let the punishment fit the crime.

IMO no matter what he has done, he should atleast be given painless execution.

It does when you make it the basis of your factually incorrect argument.
Is that responding to me or Spidey-Bat?
That's not really the point. They took someone's life, but they get to go on living, being taken care of, fed, clothed, and sheltered, and visited by family.
Why should they make his death painless he obviously didn't have any trouble with causing pain to others. He knew what he was in for.

I wouldn't consider life in prison to be living.
Um, they're still alive, and get a good deal of luxuries that they took from their victims. Did you know that some prisons, at least in New York, actually serve their inamtes higher qualities of foods (namely meat) to their inmates? I'd rather pay a little extra on my taxes to make sure that they get what they asked for than save a few bucks by keeping them alvie and stilll living, even if it isn't the most pleasant of conditions.
I'm not saying it is right or wrong; I am just going to say that discussion on whether it is right or wrong should have nothing to do with money.
