executing a feeble old man amounts to cruel and unusual punishment

When are we going to start hitting these people up with the same ruling? Clarence Allen ordered the murdered of Schletewitz and Rocha which amounts to cruel and unusal punishment. It's what we call an eye for an eye.

Baloney. This man's subsequent physical infirmities are utterly and completely irrelevant to his guilt for the crime, and to the need for justice to be done. It's just a matter of degree. If he had a hangnail, would they complain that it's too cruel to execute him? Okay, how about a hangnail and a toothache? And so it goes.
