This is a horrific statement.
These kids should get a maximum sentence, and in my book, the death penalty should be given to cold blooded murderers like this.
HOWEVER: The People and the State should have the courage to sentence them to death, not to use other prisoners to torture them.
Our forefathers left the webs of Europe and Asia to escape totalitarian torture. Do not make it justifiable when there is no courage to do the right thing.
Give them a short stay in prison before executing them. Mix them in with the prison population so they can learn a respect for ‘wrong’ prior to death.
I agree with you.
Wisonsin outlawed the death penalty back in the 1800s after a particularly gruesome hanging that went awry. If these boys are tried as juveniles, the State can keep them in prison until 18. If they are tried as adults, they could get life.
Unfortunately “no death penalty” in Wisconsin often leads to Dahmer’s fate — death handed him by another incarcerated criminal who can suffer no further consequence other than solitary confinement. Dahmer and another criminal named Anderson both were killed the same day by the same perp. Their offence? Killing blacks, or trying to frame blacks for a murder.
Which is worse? A lethal injection administered by a prison doctor after multiple trials and appeals, or being murdered by another prisoner on a lark? Life in prison is not a very good life.
