Seems like I heard on the radio news that nobody has been fried there in 50 years.
Yup.... I kept thinking of Wesley Cook, the Philly cop killer of police officer Daniel Faulkner as I penned that line - when it takes 30 years to execute a murderer, its not justice in my book. I feel for Dr. William Petit - there is nothing any one on earth can do to make him whole again for his loss. I have my doubts Stephen Hayes will meet with the swift death he deserves.
I hope I am wrong. This however, is the Northeast after all.
In the aftermath of these murders Gov. Rell vetoed legislation that would have banned the death penalty.
If not for this crime there would be no death penalty in CT.
We shall see what the new dem governor does.

Ecc 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
“Seems like I heard on the radio news that nobody has been fried there in 50 years.”
You would be wrong about that.
A serial killer of young women was executed in CT a few years’ ago (Gov. Jodi Rell signed the death warrant, if I’m not mistaken).
Having said that, there was something out-of-kilter in the Hayes trial, particularly the penalty phase.
Why did it take so long for jurors to decide what was [more than] painfully obvious from the very beginning?
This verdict should have been rendered within a couple of hours — not the days of deliberation that it took.
The real implication here is that society itself (as represented by jurors who are unable to make up their minds in the face of moral certainty) is losing its grip. On morality, judgement.... everything.
Thank God for Texans, who intrinsically understand what the solutions are for problems like Mr. Hayes!
