tell me your reasons for putting him to death

Three good reasons..........1. What he's done to innocent victims and the suffering he's caused the victims and more so the loved ones remaining. 2. Brings the consequences "home" to those of like minds and endeavours. 3. Huge reduction in public coffers just housing, securing and feeding this creature.

I think there is no doubt that Karla is a real bitch of the first water, and is probably even worse than Bernardo, but that doesn't in any way make him less heinous or in any way diminish the seriousness of the stuff he's perpetrated!

Was he there when it happened?

Sal, what makes you think this? Do you think they each had a different "role" in this? Or do you think she was the controlling one?

she is not a bitch of the first order...she is a psychopath so is he...I do not understand your point?

Was he there when it happened?
of course he was likely there...regardless of whether he killed them or not, you are quite willing to execute him is that what you are saying.

If so, you can see no ethical problem with that?

It never hung together for me and there is something about her that is dead. The sacrifice of her sister is beyond anything I can imagine. It was her sister, yet she planned everything. For me that kind of blackness is on a whole different level.

I think they are psychopaths who acted together.

At one point he beat her within an inch of her life. That was a mistake for him as it turned her against him naturally. It enabled her to choose to testify against him which allowed her early freedom and now a life with a husband and children.

I don't think she controlled him I think she understood him and fed his hunger. That is I guess a manner of control.

I have never accepted that he did it in the way it was portrayed, but it must remain that way since the police used her, made a deal and then she walked free. Even if they know what happened it won't surface for years.

Speaking of darling Karla, how does that square with your various assertions that killers "will never get out again?"
it's irrelevant because she is not a killer remember...she is a victim of Paul and she never killed anyone she was "merely" a battered accomplice

can't have a killer let go on purpose now can we

You're losing me, she's not a killer and he's not a killer and three people are dead and no one else was convicted. You have something to fill the gap? -:)

I'd support the death penalty if they hung the Governor for premeditated murder in the case where an executed person is later found not guilty. To me, that would be more just. Plus, I don't really like politicians. :lol:
It's not the Governor who decides. It's a judge and usually a jury

I see we're on Karla and Paul. They should both have been put tor death imho. Both of them. Firm believer in an eye for an eye here.

You don't have to be a lawyer to make a reasonable argument, you just need to define your terms, understand your points, avoid logical fallacies, and get over the notion that you're morally superior to anybody that dares disagree with you.

How could anyone be morally superior to an American lawyer?

Not all opposing views are morally equivalent; slavery or freedom is but one example.
