It cuts to the very core of arguments for/ against the death penalty doesn't it? Do you allow people to change & thereby redeem themselves in the eyes of society? Or do you make them pay with their life for taking the life of another person?
I would suggest that within the current laws of California, the State is quite right to execute him. He was sentenced as a killer - becoming a peacemaker after killing does not change that. Unless you want to start asking the question of how much good he could have done if he hadn't been on Death Row in the first place.
Of course I'm a furriner with ways very different than your own, and I don't believe in the death penalty to start with.
