| Thank you. But its not just about cost, space and punishment per say. Alot of what the death penalty offeres is closure. The killer is gone, dead, and the families can comfort themselves with the fact that the bastard is in hell, unable to hurt them anymore. My mother always feared that the man responsible for so much pain in the family would either escape and find us, or be let out. You scoff and think its impossble that they would be paroled right? WRONG. Rogers (the man guilty) not only got off death row and now has life imprisonment, but also has FULL privleges, meaning group activities, computer / internet, t.v. (etc) heck, that man has it better then I do at times, and he doesnt even have to pay rent!
Now does this sound logical?
DON'T TAKE AWAY MY RIGHTS JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T EXERCISE YOURS.
Better to be thought a fool with ones mouth shut, than to speak and remove all doubt |
