That capital punishment is wrong because it is too often applied erroneously - now that would be a logical reason. But erroneous prosecution is not being claimed. Somehow because he wrote children's books, that somehow says he is reformed. Woefully too little too late to validate such reasoning. So what am I missing? Where is a signficant fact that would justify a change in sentencing? |

I don't believe in the death penalty but if you're going to use it this was the guy. He was the Grandaddy of all the gangbanger nonsense. Nobody should be executed by the state but to exempt this guy when you're executing kids and the mentally retarded, this belongs in the wtf thread.

I really wish people would stop talking about the "four people" he killed. Yeah, and Al Capone committed tax fraud. The man killed dozens at least, and everyone knows it.

He hadn't admitted guilt or shown remorse for the four he's been legally held responsible for, I doubt that he would do so with respect to the ones he got away with.

BigV, the short answer is you've got to be kidding me. But then, I always did have some problems with your worldview. Reckon I always will.

Here is a book I just found in the bargain bin for $1.
Death Penalty Decisions of the United States Supreme Court The book was published in 2003, and has 11 major death penalty decisions, supposedly translated into standard English with defintions of legal terms. I decided not to get if for myself, but if anyone want's to brush up on the topic, you can't beat a dollar. Maybe you should all buy it and form a discussion group.
