I just drove past the place she was abducted on my way to the University of Memphis electron microscopy center.

For what it’s worth Tennessee has not been seeking the death penalty in recent years because it’s drawn out and very expensive.
But the law is still on the books.

“Justice” is very expensive in this country. More so the worse the crime. This guy will sit in jail for 10 or so years with lawyers being paid to appeal the penalty, etc. Imagine the expense.
I lived near what was then Memphis State University for about 9 months in the 1980s. A college student was murdered in her apartment about 100 yards from where I lived by a young black man who was burglarizing the place.
