And yet people do get their sentences commuted, and some do escape.

So "Life without parole" really means "unless someone decides to let him go", or "until he escapes".

That is the only argument that is needed, that has been established and accepted, and cannot be countered, yet people still argue for the death penalty despite accepting that fact.

Not really. What we need is a better way to make sure we have the right person.

Not invalid at all, the claim was focused on "only" and "cast iron", yet clearly it was neither.
The fact that the alterantives are also not the "only" or "cast iron" does not remove the invalidity of the original statement.

The statement was that executing the murderer is the only way to guarantee that he doesn't kill again. Ted Bundy did escape the authorities more than once and while he was free he did kill again, so imprisoning him some more did allow him to keep killing. Putting him to death was indeed the "only" way to stop him, and it was very much "cast iron".
So in Ted Bundy's case, yes it is.
