too sad, all around...and as succinct a statement of the logic behind
the death penalty as i've ever seen.

Everybody gets the death penalty in this life. The principle I like
is, . . . You shorten violently someone else's life . . . you get your
own life shortened. This guy sliced her over, and over and over and
over and over. Then he raped her, then finished her off, sliced her
some more, put her in her car trunk to rot, hopped a plane for
California and attacked two women there. He confessed.

He's stalled the system for 18 years, constantly a threat to other
prisoners. His defense? Bad upbringing. One thing folks forget is that
these folks often continue to kill in prison, where they carryout
death sentences on other prisoners at their leisure. I suggest folks
who favor life for these kinds of cases might walk some of the talk by
applying to work as guards, or even teachers in prison.
