Not that I'm an Opponent to the Death Penalty (In fact, I don't think it's used nearly enough!) but can we get real here for one minute. The guy is 72 years old! With the current 20 plus year death row time frame, the old codger is gonna croak before he even comes up for his first appeal!
aww, crud.. I tried. ;-)
The real statement in your comment is about the pathetic case of our justice system.
The victims never got a 20 year stay of thier execution.
Hang the bastard immediately after a fair trial and be done with this trash. Oh...and tell him about Jesus before ya slip the rope over his neck, so he has a chance to repent.
This earth does not need him breathing our air for one second longer than necessary.
