no death can give solace to the victims families....
the death penalty allows for many years with food, water, housing, entertainment, media interviews....
in short....being the center of attention for all those years is just what these devils crave.( "nothing" men like Ridgeway only reach any prominence by the evil that they do..in the dark, against defenseless women...I guess that is what he considered manhood)...
torture and then death is really the only way to really reward them but I guess that would be so politically incorrect...
