you never should be able to sentence someone to death against their will,
Judge: Bro, you killed that man, and its been proven after tons of witnesses and DNA proofs and your finger prints on the weapons and your confession, do you want the death penalty?
Criminal: Nah bro, I just want to live forever on the tax money the relatives of my victims pay.

in court don't apply our freewill when deciding whether we should or not sentence someone to death.
Criminal: I have a right to life and free will given by god.
Judge: Bruh, you lost your right to life the moment you took a life which was not yours to take. When you killed that innocent victim you not just killed one person you killed everything they could ever have been. You not just destroyed his life but of that woman who called the victim her child, of that little girl who was saving her pocket money so she can buy her sibling a nice birthday present, You destroyed the life of that young person who had dreamt of spending the rest of their lives together. You have committed a crime not against one person but against the state. Therefore I sentence you to death.
P.S: Free will is a combined package with restrictions, you can do the shit only if it does not hurt others, and when you hurt others you lose all the rights to freedom and life.
