I have no sympathy whatsoever for the criminals who commit violent torture and murder of the innocent. I don't care what happens to them. Imo they give up their right to humane treatment when they inflict inhumane violence against others. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
It wasn't the death penalty that was the problem. It was the conviction and sentencing based on circumstantial evidence. If evidence is circumstantial that means that there is reasonable doubt.
When there is no doubt at all as in confession, eyewitnesses, DNA, etc., I am all for the death penalty and I don't care how, when or where. it is carried out. Just exterminate the SOB.
