It does seem a shame to perform capitol punishment on a full grown man for a crime he did in his youth, especially if he did repent and suffered the proper amount of mental guilt and shame for his missguided actions of the past.

Or before making that first bad choice in the opening years of their adulthood. By not making the right choice they force others to make a choice about them - life or death. It is the law and the letter of the law is death. |
