Does a wimpy state like Maryland even have a death penalty?

YES, but rarely enforced and often overturned on appeal.

Believe it or not (I'm sorry I am coming in late at night) under the current Matyland death penalty law this scum would not "qualify." He (she) could not be executed under state law if arrested. Local state police are privately saying they will fire one warning shot into his chest before asking him to surrender.
