If these two do not hang, fry, sniff gas, get needled or whatever Kansas does for its capital punishment, it will be clear to all that capital punishment is randomly administered. If there is ever a case for capital punishment, this is it. If these pieces of septic tank scum dodge the executioner, I will have to rethink whether capital punishment can be logically applied.

Fortunately, I do not believe that I will have to trouble my already weak brain over that issue. If the folks that I know from Kansas are a representative sample, the deliberations will not take long.

I understand how you feel. I've proposed a foolproof way, for logical and consistent application of the death penalty.

AUTOMATIC death penalty for first degree murders. This would remove the decision from jurors who go in as anti-death penalty types and the same goes for judges involved in the sentencing process.
