25 years is 1/3 of most peoples life. He received a gift. Did he spend his time in self reflection and improvement?

justice for a cop killer
if only they'd fry mumia jamal.

Bring him back from the dead and retry him under hate crime legislation. Then he'll get what he deserves!

I just read an article on Bruno Hauptman. He was executed within a few WEEKS of his conviction in the '30s.

Keeping this POS alive for 25 years at a conservative cost of $20,000 per year = $500,000.

Assuming no extraordinary medical expenses and not counting public funds spent of "Public Defender" representation...

These bastards simply are NOT worth the extraordinary measures taken by society to be "civil" or "humane"...

Semper Fi

Ironicly, his co defendants got 25 years in prison. I wonder if they came to visit him when he got executed?

Donald: Hey guys, ain't life a b!tch?

Edward and Danny: Sure beats the alternative, sucka!
