Yes, you wrote about what should happen to his parents which I won’t repeat. Let’s focus only on the killer’s victims & leave the killer’s family out of this. Though you didn’t say this, with the defense lawyer Ira Freidman, he was doing his job.
The killer’s family is innocent, must be left alone & not even discussed. The killer’s a bad person & again, it’s sad that he turned out this way as his parents & family had hoped he would turn out to be a fine citizen but he ended up being a murderer. It’s best to only talk about the 3 victims he killed & the kid who ended up paralyzed in this shooting by the killer. & when we talk about this killer, it’s best to say that it’s sad some1 turned out this way. The killer must spend rest of his life in prison or had a jury decided to give him death penalty, then so be it, but we must also feel sad that he turned out this way. There are only losers & no winners here.
You'd best check that again.
Forced sterilization at least ~

Apparantly you don't think this particular killer should be sterilized ~
I’m against sterilization surgeries. If it were up to me, it would be a crime to do vasectomies & tubals. I support birth control such as the Pill & condoms (Okay against the Catholic faith but this is where I differ with the Pope), but they must not allow sterilization surgeries, even if the patient wants it. Vasectomies are linked to cancer.
But staying with this topic, the killer should either have gotten life in prison which he did or the death penalty after a jury decides this was the right punishment. If the death penalty is to be given, then it must only be for worst case scenarios & a jury must decide. Hope that answers.
The article noted that the crime was committed when Lane was 17 so the death penalty, which otherwise would have been richly deserved, was never an option.
I'm not defending this filth. Just noting what the state law said.
We know the USSC prohibited it already ~ which was wrong.
We need to change our laws to eliminate this type of criminal from the system. They are too dangerous to keep.
