DEATHROW
Fire up Ol’ Sparky
See the Dead Man walk
12 men said it, no more talk
It’s time for him to go feel the spark
Flip the switch do not balk
We’ll carry him to his funeral pyre
Where his body will meet a hellashious fire
Justice is now known .
Into Hell his ashes will be strown
His soul be damned to the devils flock
Where there is an eternal lock
Here he will remain for all of time
All of this over one thin dime

I prefer hemp. Public executions by hanging.
The author misses the point. The law must operate and must be seen to operate.
Potential murders are likely to be deterred by the possibility of 43 years in prison, granted. But they will be encouraged by the very real probability of getting out on a technicality, politically motivated pardon, loophole or being sprung by a nitwit judge much, much sooner. In a sane society Hurricane Carter and Bill Ayers would have swung decades ago. Both are guilty as hell and free as birds.
