The problem with our justice system (one of them, anyway) is that once a murderer gets the death penalty, they file appeal after appeal, and stay on death row for maybe 30 years. (some shorter, some longer). I say, let them have 2 appeals - if they lose - stick the needle in their worthless arms, and stop wasting the taxpayers money on this scum. Maybe they should re institute the firing squad for those who shoot and kill innocent victims. I think it’s on the books in a few states, but, not used. I’m trying to remember the movie I watched where the criminal chose the firing squad. Maybe in Utah or Idaho?

Ah, yes! An Alec Guinness movie comes to mind...as he stood before the firing squad, and as they unleashed their barrage, we see him still standing smoking his ‘last’ cigarette, and then the camera turns and we see the officer in charge drop, riddled by bullets! Loved that movie, though I do not remember the name of it...
