maybe you guys think its fine, but i personally cant stand the small cell. experiencing that for any length of time, id probably kill myself in a literal sense. and definately take death penalty over life with no parole.

I'm with you on this one, I'm Jaded.
Any society or country that carries out the death sentence is IMHO a PRIMITIVE one.
Couldn't agree more. Regardless - having pride or a sense of satisfaction in this barbaric act borders on lunacy....or blood lust imo.

All I can say is that Mr. Williams' innocent victims haven't had the luxury of a jury of their peers, 25 years of appeals, cable television, visits from Hollywood stars, the liberal media kissing their rear-ends and making them into the greatest thing since sliced bread, or the luxury of a last meal and an easy leathal injection. Rather, they were brutally shot to death with a shotgun in a senseless act of violence without the option of clemency afforded to them.
Just because its taken 25 years to do what should have been done 24 years ago doesn't make it any less right. The problem is that we've allowed this process to be drawn out so long, thus losing its purpose. For those who don't think that the death penalty can serve as a deterrant (and I agree that it is debatable since we've allowed those who are against it to force us into keeping murderers alive for decades after their sentences), then I have a legal proposal for you all. It was once given by a brilliant man who's name unfortunately escapes me at the moment. How about we change the law so that those who commit murders on Monday, Wednesday and Friday are sentenced to death, and those who commit murders on the remaining days are sentenced to life without parole. Then let's see if the death penalty is really a deterrant!
