"If you want to punish a person who violated the law, you let them go to bed every night and wake up and see steel bars, a cold concrete floor and a stainless steel potty. That's their life until they die," Goolsby said.

Right...while we...the tax payers pay for endless legal appeals and other legal representation that can include, special diets, exercise, recreation, reading material, humiliation, lighting, etc.....

The final option serves the victim and the taxpayer.....

"Believe"? Maybe you better keep up with current events, pal.

Sheesh, not this $h!t again.  Why is it that every time adults try to start talking about something serious some kid gets a bee in his pantyhose.

...LWP can be a really good option, IMHO, is the situation, like the juvenile criminal, whom the states can no longer legally execute...

That's a good example-- second only to just getting the lib idiots off the SCOTUS; but I thought we were talking about having state courts allow either the choice of  the LWOP sentence or the choice of execution.   The tile is  "Texas May Add Life Without Parole Option"; not "Texas May Replace Execution Life with Without Parole".

Life without parole should never be agreed to period!!

Now Life at HARD LABOR without parole may be an option to consider.

The DNA thing bothers me. It works, but how about when someone plants evidence (dna) like for example, Criminal commits a crime, takes a object with DNA (cig butt, dirty shirt, soda can) that has someone else's DNA and plants it, knowing that whomever's DNA that's on it is gonna get caught, and not the real criminal. They can lift dna off just about anything these days. You know criminals have thought of this by now.
