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

There probably weren't too many of the normal candlelight vigil crazies around for this one.

He lived 25 years more than the victim. A disgrace. Not much hand wringing about this one, though. Is it my imagination or is there less commotion when the executed killer is white?

I guess this one wasn't in the express lane Ron "Tater Salad" White was talking about.

I think Bush still holds the record for most executions, doesn't he?

What a wasted life. To tie up and kill two guys just trying to make a living by selling furniture out of their truck.
