I think he would have been worse off if they just let him rot in prision for the rest of his pitiful life...see my article.

I hate capital punishment. It is barbaric and cruel.

Well latour, will make you feel better knowing he will probably die in prison of old age before they execute him?

I wonder if the sentencing would have been the same without the media.

I understand the need for vengence. I understand the need to feel like justice has been served.

But will killing him bring Lacey and Connor back? No. Will it make what he did any less heinous? No.

I'm caught, I really am. On the one hand, I'm aware of how miserable life on death row can be.....and on the other, I can understand the reasoning behind "well, Laci won't live to see the sunrise again, so why should he" mentality.

The impact statements broke my heart. laci's mother on the stand, describing her funeral...how she knew that laci and connor were in the same casket, but that she also knew that laci didn't have any arms to hold her son with......even now it brings tears to my eyes.

but it still doesn't give me the feeling that executing him would be just punishment.

He is gonna rot in prison. It'll be years, if ever, if California carrys out the sentence.

but it still doesn't give me the feeling that executing him would be just punishment.

it does me.

it does me.

I can see why, given your occupation.

But how can a humane death be retribution for what he did?

It can't be. Nothing will bring her or her child back. The whole damn thing is pointless, really. I've known lots of murderers, some worse than this guy by far in my opinion. What i've observed is that when no one is watching but a peon like me, these kind of people are trully remorseless and evil. That kind of wickedness needs to go...
