I think it is instances such as these which will help bring the end of the death penalty in this country....

This is precisely what troubles me. Kelly Gissendaner gets executed for a crime of passion, the actual killer gets a lesser sentence.

I strongly support the death penalty... we need a death penalty precisely for ... evil monsters and serial killers....Not saying Kelly Gissendaner was innocent. Clearly guilty and deserving of a severe punishment. I am saying a life sentence for her would have sufficed IMHO.

Now I understand. I was commenting on the danger of a one-size-fits-all rule such as abolishing the death penalty entirely. Your earlier post about "the end of the death penalty" was not clear as to your position; but now you've made yourself clear.

Thanks.

I want to reaffirm that I am firm supporter of the death penalty.

However, if it is used in cases such as this, I do think it will eventually be done away with altogether in the US.

Just my opinion. I would have had serious reservations pulling the switch on Kelly Gissendaner. In fact, I wouldn’t have never done it myself.
