Oh, no, we are WAY too sophisticated here in the Blue State of Wisconsin to have the death penalty. However, we do have our own form of justice usually carried out in the prison system with the guards looking the other way. Examples: Jeffrey Dahmer (no explanation needed) and Jesse Anderson (guy who claimed "blacks" jumped him and killed his wife) when he did it all along. They were both killed in prison with a broomstick. So, this guy is going to WISH the state would have put him to death.
I well remember when Jesse Anderson killed his wife outside that TGI Friday's in Brown Deer. We lived in Milwaukee at the time and a woman I worked with said the next day she thought he did it and I was so shocked and then it turned out he did.
Is it just my impression or are there lot more weird murders in Wisconsin than in neighboring Minnesota? Wisconsin can claim Dahmer and Ed Gein, certainly two of the most notorious serial killers. On the other hand Vang apparently lives in Minnesota.
