Clever way of calling him an idiot - while crying about the injustice of executing a murderer.
I don't think anyone is saying a murderer should not get the death penalty.
The original point was, it's possible someone could commit a crime that would seem capital in nature, but due to mental incapacity, would not warrant the death penalty.
I think we ALL agree in THIS case, the proper treatment happened. A couple of you let your emotions cloud your understanding of what was said.
This guy got what was coming to him. He planned it, then killed the guy. But it's possible a retard could kill without understanding what he did. Ever see the movie Rainman? That was the point. No one was defending THIS guy.
I support the death penalty. I witnessed a murder when I was 8. The bastard got 50 years, served only 11, and lived 20 years as a free man. And he admitted he went in the house to kill a 74 year old woman. Unfortunately, his trial was around the time the Supreme Court suspended the death penalty. Ten years earlier or later, and he fries.
My uncle was killed in a robbery. The bastards are free men, while my cousins grew up without a dad. They should have gotten it IMO.
