True, because these people do not "Get Better". Anyone who thinks otherwise (Doctor of Sociology and Basketweaving, etc.) can put up or shut up, and invite the "Rehabilitated" home to live with them and their children for a while. I doubt there would be many takers.
I do not believe in "Rubber Stamp" executions. I can see where someone who was always a decent citizen who, when extraordinarily provoked beyond reason could snap and kill someone. They have to pay, of course-somehow.
But this swaggering, smug serial predator knew what he was doing, and did so with premeditation and deliberation, nearly 150 times, without regard for ruining lives.
He desperately needed killing, and was cheated out of his "Cure" by Massachusetts' stand on putting down rabid dogs.

Screw all the big shot judges and DA's on the case of John Geoghan. A lowly convict rendered justice where they failed
