Death Penalty

Just wanted your thoughts on this....

Here in CT there is a major debate over wether a guy should get the death penalty after a brutal and horrific crime. Im sure you have all heard of the Petit family home invasion? it happened about 2 towns away from me. Scary. Anyhow the killer who burned the 2 daughters alive, raped and killed the mother..... got teh death sentence today. Some here in the state say its better for him to serve life in prison.
I say kill him. He deserves to die. It was the most brutal local crime I have ever heard since living in CT.

Do you guys think he should fry?

 

I think he should be tortured in public. To death eventually.

 

keeping someone like him alive is dangerous

 

Should fry. knowing that he is on borrowed time is probably more stressful.

 

Kill!

 

I think I was a bit extreme in my earlier stance. What we should do is take him to the zoo and throw him in with the animals one cage at a time until he dies. Start with the petting zoo and work your way up to meaner animals until one gets him. Vegas could take bets on what cage gets him and we could raise some money for charity or something.

 

Its pretty crazy how averse california is to the death penalty nowadays. some activist judge has been delaying executions for some time.

 

here its fucking ridiculous. This state is so fucked up.

He should probably die. But, I believe it was the other guy, who's trial isn't until later on who was mastermind behind the rapes and everything. The guy with the russian name. That guy should get fried on the spot.

 

this kind of reminds me of that movie Law Abiding Citizen

I think we should use the death penalty more frequently, and with less of a wait time.

 

I'm usually against the death penalty but this guy needs to be dead.

 

I am very pro death penalty.

The sad thing is we have to pay to keep this fucker alive at all. Just put a bullet in his brain and be done with it. It's also things like this that make me believe in an eye for an eye. Cut his dick off, shove a broom handle up his ass and then set him on fire.

 

was this story getting a lot of coverage in the northwest?

 

this is from a local lawyer....

This is just where I differ from alot of people. As disgusting and vile these mens crimes were and as much as I would like him to suffer, murder is murder. But put that aside because everyone has emotions and feelings on the topic, which I understand. Here's what really makes me a firm advocate for the death penalty - two things. First - I think that putting a person in prison for the rest of his life is far worse than killing him. And Second...and the one that really gets me...based on our present system and the number of current inmates on death row...after each prisoner went through every appeal proccess, held up the courts for years in litigation, sat in cell for 20 years while this whole thing went through the courts, it costs the US $232.7 million per year to keep him incarcerated. In a system which imposes a maximum penalty of lifetime incarceration instead of the death penalty...$11.5 million. How much money could we be putting to our education systems or countless other programs if we merely locked this guy up in a dark cell for the rest of his life? All because we need to play God and take this mans life away as he did one of ours? I say no.

 

I heard a lot about it here in Virginia.

 

Those are pretty much the reasons I'm opposed. I know if I were a criminal and had the choice of death or life in solitary, I'd choose death. Can you imagine how hellish it'd be to go for years with nothing to do but listen to your own thoughts?

 

And it'll always be expensive to execute somebody. It's a very serious business, and there's no going back. There really should be a lot of roadblocks to keep it from happening quickly. So it's pretty much guaranteed to be far, far more expensive than just keeping them alive.
