What does being mentally competant have to do with anything? So if they are a nutjob, we have to support their nutjob selves for another 50 years? BS. Even more reason to remove them and their delusional selves from the earth. Hell, the left support euthanizing the mentally handicapped (Terri Schiavo), why not the ones who are mentally handicapped enough to murder 13 innocent people?
Hypocrites.
The "social democrat" Left will continue to try to destroy our legal system and the death penalty only until they are able to seize power of the government and the means of enforcing their own leftist ideals..
There will then be a sudden "about face" and you will see executions like never before..
And for a lot less than murder.. ( like political belief )
