It's Texas. Be grateful that the guy they executed was actually
guilty.

I look for the day when we don't have to wait years and years before
we execute. I suppose if you husband and kids were brutally murdered,
you'd still want the killer to get life in prison? Three meals a day,
all the sex they want, drugs, tv...

I think I would be devestated if something of that sort happened.
However, I do not believe death penalty is the way to deal with a
crime. We all die anyway, if we can give them life with out parole, it
can be pretty bad. As for the food, I doubt very much if iit is all
that tasty. Sex? Well.. I am not sure if it is all that pleasant in
prison.And on a practical note, it costs more to go through a death
penalty phase with all the hoopla that goes with it than it does to
house them the rest of their lives.

I'm iffy about the death penalty but that was a horrific murder and the
killer deserves the same fate.

"Sitting on Death Row" for 25 odd years is a f***ing joke/farce which the
scumbags milk for every minute.

Once sentence is passed, get it over and done with ASAP.

We have a trash/garbage pickup once a week, the jails should have the
same. Clear the garbage on a weekly basis.

I was pro-death penalty until I read about this case:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Todd_Willingham

That tipped me over. If the only way to stop Texas
from executing innocent people is to ban it nationally,
I'm in favor of that.

No system is perfect but if you want to pay to house some murderer
then go for it. I say, one appeal with 6 months and then kill 'em. Use
a 50 cent bullet and quit being all sensitive with this lethal
injection crap. Either a bullet or the rope.

Very few countries still use death penalty. I wish the US was
one.There are worse things then death.

Innocent people do get charged with crimes they didn't commit, and innocent
people die or spend their lives behind bars, but that's no reason to stop
punishing the truly guilty.

Some of you people must have lived very sheltered lives. I grew up on the
mean streets. There are people out there with no regard for human life.
They will kill you for your shoes.

When those people take another's life, they deserve to die.

That's all, I'm done...

I was pro execution when I thought about how many executed people ever
came back to repeat their crimes. The number is amazingly low.

I was anti execution when I learned that it costs more to execute a
prisoner than it does to keep them in prison for the rest of their lives.

If it's about quarantine to prevent repeat offences then it does not
have to be about revenge or justice. Then it can be about the cost of
the quarantine against the cost of an absolute guarantee against repeat
offenses. I'm not fully in one camp or the other but I think in cases
where the guilt is not in doubt I don't think the discussion runs in the
right direction. This time guilt was in doubt, argh.

Then maybe Rick Perry will decide to go ahead and secede. I mean, how much fun would it be to be a governor if you didn't get to kill people?

You're joking, right?

I read that and just thought, "Guilty".

He got what he deserved.

I am for it, because in this day and age of DNA evidence - you know
when you have the guilty party. OJ was guilty.

I wish that were true about DNA evidence. Unfortunately it's not the
science that's at fault, but the human system of collecting and analyzing
the evidence. There have been documented cases of police labs tampering
with DNA evidence to increase conviction rates, etc. As long as human
processes are error-prone (i.e. forever), the death penalty will kill the
innocent.

That guy, especially, deserved nothing better than a few ice-cubes for
his last meal. However, last meals don't have to be gluttonous
orgies. Prisoners can be given choices and the prison cook/warden can
decide what would be a reasonable portion.

Read that article on Google News. I recall reading some years past that
the 'final meal' was limited to what the prison kitchen was able to
provide - nothing special - no out of prison provision(s) - etc. Makes
sense that the condemned convict doesn't deserve/get more than the
victim did.

Ugh. An overstuffed, overfed dead body is *not* something I'd want to
have to deal with.
I wonder if this condemned man intended on being as unpleasant in death
to his jailers as he must have been in life?

I don't think death row inmates should be accorded fancy meals. But as Sky
pointed out, the meal should be from what is available at the prison kitchen
facilities. But what's the point of gorging yourself on food when they're
about to kill you? Probably a last minute F* you to the system.

I did enjoy that book with last meals listed. I have a twisted sense of
curiosity.

Good.

They also should bring back the electric chair and firing squads.

If executions are to have any use, they should be deterrents.
Criminals should be hanged from a lamppost in the neighborhood where
they lived and left dangling for all to contemplate for about a week.
Otherwise, why risk killing someone who is really innocent?

There are a couple of problems with the idea of capital punishment as a
deterrent. First of all, a portion of the population do not commit
crimes because they are basically good people who know right from wrong
and do not want to do wrong. Then there are those who try not to wrong
because they are are afraid of the consequences. Then there are those
who figure that they can get away with it or just don't care if they get
caught and sent to jail. In some circles it is a badge of honour to have
been in prison.

A lot of murders are crimes of passion. People argue or have fits of
jealousy and simply aren't thinking with their brains. Deterrence does
not work on those people. However.... a lot of murders, especially
domestic murders are the culmination of an escalating pattern of
violence. There are usually preceded by incidents of lour arguing,
verbal abuse and physical abuse. They happen more frequently among
younger couples and usually happen when they are drinking heavily.

Perhaps a better way to deter murders, at least in domestic situations,
is to react more harshly to the incidents of domestic violence that
precede the murders.

another problem with the death penalty as a deterrent is that murder rates
are higher in states with the death penalty that states that do not:

do you know what 'obviate' means? obviously not:

ob·vi·ate (ŏb'vē-āt')
tr.v., -at·ed, -at·ing, -ates.
To anticipate and dispose of effectively; render unnecessary.

run along and play with the other fourth graders, andy.

you don't exactly have a lot of room to talk about someone else's 'crippled
anger.'

take your meds and have a drink. several drinks.
