Well, what you wrote may be accurate, but this pos is, nonetheless, dead. He was in no way tranquil at the time of his demise as reflected in his obscenities directed at the warden, who really had nothing to do with it. On the other hand, he proved he is just an evil guy. Another upstanding denizen of Hell.
As I have opined here before, I am opposed to the DP, not because these people don’t deserve it; I believe they do. I am opposed to it because it is not administered fairly. I would like to see a rich guy/ pretty woman, get executed (assuming he/she had due process and deserved it (read Arias, here, pretty not rich, but female, not male)).
I did a DP case on habeas corpus, for six years. The case only ended because the condemned got executed. I can’t say he didn’t deserve it, but I can say, at least to my satisfaction, that it’s not fairly imposed, and is, therefore, a violation of equal protection.
I could be wrong about that.
I am not absolutely certain because no system is perfect and one individual or entity, including the criminal justice system, should not let perfection be the enemy of the good. So, I am a bit ambivalent, but I still think the DP is unfairly applied.
Some people just deserve to die. We can’t let our personal emotions interfere with that fact. Public execution should be so scary it makes a mean pos piss in his pants watching. Deterrence - it work.
