After what I’ve seen over the last four years, I just assume that anyone prosecuted by the U.S. Department of Justice was innocent, and railroaded for political reasons.
Definitely not the case. I was present and intimately involved in a case of murders and attempted murders. The two men involved reside at Terra Haute on death row.
The execution of this woman made me wonder how the people on death row think about it. The only friends or company most of them have is each other. How do they feel when one of theirs is brought to die? Do they hurt? Do they grieve? Many of them are sociopaths and incapable of empathy. So does an execution make them more aware of why they are there? Do they actually and truly regret what they did knowing that they themselves are going to face the same thing? Or do they still not care?
The two I know were scheduled to die in 2009 i think, but ozero put a stop to executions.
Two women and a child dies as a result of the actions of these guys..much of the family died without seeing justice on earth.
Most people have NO clue as to what the friends and family have to endure and overcome when they’ve lost a loved one.
Yet the pity is reserved for the murderer who had no problem playing judge, jury and executioner on your family member??
Three lives were lost and all they have to give up is one life, but they took three.
Prison is a punishment. So is the death penalty. The victims were denied mercy.
There IS a balancing act however. You can’t crave their death ...you don’t want to commit murder in your own heart. But God instituted governments for this very reason. And God himself set the proper tone for the death penalty, and guarding your heart from evil is part of it.
