It's horrifying what they guy did, but I don't believe in the death penalty either. I don't think taking life is right under any circumstance. Also, there is the chance that the person charged may be innocent (unlike the man in this situation who admitted it was him) and an innocent person could be killed. The thought of that scares me. I do admit though that if someone I loved was murdered I could probably be of a different opinion, but it isn't up to us to decide if someone lives or dies.

I think that the death penalty is necessary in some cases. Life in Prison can be a worse punishment if the person feels guilt for what they did, but most people who comit crimes of this nature do not. Also, what are they learning in prison when they have access to TV, internet, games, it's like a hotel in some of these places. I know because I know several people who work in a prison in Huntsville, TX, and this is a facility that the hard criminals go to, it's where they put some to death.
When I think of people like Manson, sitting in prison for life, making millions on book deals, artists singing his songs, etc, it sickens me. He feels no remorse, and he should be put to death. His punishment has taught him nothing, so the punishment must be changed. So many criminals are in the same situation, just hanging back, no worries. It's disgusting. People who criminally insane are a different story, I agree they need help. And the guy in this story might just be in that group. However, some killers know how to put up a front, and they get away with it. Are legal system is not perfect, but when it works right it's great. The problem is the poiliticians behind the scenes pulling the strings. That must change.

Everybody who kills somebody else is at some point insane, though the rationally think about, act cool about it and all, there is something metally wrong with them and it's our duty to help them, to show that though the did horrible things we will always help. We're not the ones who can judge. I do however feel, that criminals should have it less easy in jail, but then again, some show remorse, but still need to do their time, do we want to be hard on them too ... has anybody seen "Escape from Alcatraz" ... the old guy, who painted? ... Then you'll understand what I mean. And last but not least, the judge, the prison-guards, who pull the lever for the electrical chair and those who clean up the chair for the next victim, are also all participating in the taking of somebody's life!
