They should have let the victim’s father beat him to death in 1985.

Several of Paula’s male relatives should have been allowed to administer real justice to that POS many years ago. And if any of the female relatives wanted to participate all the better.

Executions are slow-walked on purpose in my opinion. If they were done quicker, the death penalty might actually have a deterrent effect and increase calls for the death penalty elsewhere.

Liberals want to keep the argument that the death penalty has no deterrent effect so their strategy is to delay for decades in the few places it is imposed.

Timothy McVeigh did get a quick execution but remember, McVeigh himself did all he could to push that along.

Exactly. I don’t care what he had for his very last supper. It’s the 12,045 suppers we’ve fed him UNTIL this one that bother me.

>> It takes 33 years to execute a child killer?<<

As I keep saying in response to such travesties, in any truly civilized society criminals such as this one would be tried, convicted, and publicly hanged within 10 days of the commission of their crimes or 10 days after their apprehension. No appeals and no exceptions. And contrary to all the “virtue” talk the real reason this is not standard procedure is because the judges and lawyers make huge salaries by prolonging the adjudication process.

>>Virtually every execution you read about has its crime committed in the 1980’s. Elapsed time is usually 30-35 years. I don’t get it.<<

See my post, #65.

This is a quaint old tradition I think we can dispose of at this time. Either that, or start using it A LOT MORE. Either way.

I can live without the death penalty, provided...
see my FReeper profile for an alternative.

We had 2 in Washington State went pretty quick. They asked for it and chose not to pursue any appeals

Wesley Allan Dodd convicted of child rape and murder, sentenced in 1990 - hanged in 1993

Jeremy Vargas Sagastegui, the triple murderer, plead guilty in 1996 - lethal injection in 1998

A mother's instinct to protect her child is just so incredibly strong.

Sixty million abortions say otherwise. Life is dirt cheap in these United States of America.

What you say is true.

That’s what makes me think we’re near the end.

I’m all for swift punishment, but 10 days is wrong. We have corrupt cops, prosecutors, and judges and you can’t guarentee that no one will get railroaded.

What was a 33-year-old man doing babysitting a little child? Probably Mommy’s boyfriend.

At least here at FR, I don’t think there’s much sympathy or pity for the murderer.

It’s not wrong if the perp is caught on camera or by numerous witnesses in the act of perpetrating crimes of torture and/or murder In fact, in my view the preferable outcome would be for the perp to be killed ON THE SPOT.

That’s called lynching. It is assumed by liberals that all lynchings were unjust examples of racism. Some number, however, we’re likely just cases where the prep was caught in the act, and people decided that a trial was not needed.

Perps should be tried, convicted, and hanged within 10 days.

Certainly there could be those type of circumstances and I’m with you there.
