The death penalty is good. People by their heinous action have chosen to not live among us.
However, I am not seeing where this guy did anything heinous. He was an accomplice who didn’t know there was going to be a murder by the other guy. His crime doesn’t seem to need a death penalty punishment. But I’d be good with adding sexual abuse of children to death penalty crimes. Multiple stranger rapes as well.
Why would you ever take the Washington Post’s word for the fact of the case? They lie! A jury found him guilty based on actual evidence, not Washington Post spin and b.s. and recommended a sentence of death, which the court imposed. No problem other than that the Post never met someone on death row they wouldn’t try to save (other than Timothy McVeigh, of course).
