I understand there are legal issues at stake here, and in that respect, its good...

but in the particulars of this case, I don’t think it matters. Kansas hasn’t executed anyone in 50 years. In Kansas a death sentence is really a life sentence.

I don’t think that the state has any choice now. The Supreme Court said that the order to execute is valid. I had a friend who in other respects is quite liberal, argue with me that I should support the death penalty. I told him that I would have to picture myself pushing the button in any particular case. I could push this button.

Yep. Even BTK didn’t get a DP sentence, and there are some who come out of the same prison saying that BTK has a pretty cushy life..something he wasn’t supposed to have. They say he has his own tv AND his own computer. EX cons can be huge liars, but they really resent the privileges this horrible man gets.

The Carr Bros. were big news locally. Not nationally, but locally.
