How absurd is it that everyone is bringing up this poor mans execution now; after and just before.
I would understand if the people bringing it up now where on the bandwagon from day one, when he still had the label of killer on his face. But now/recently he has been relabeled as an “innocent soul” because of his good deeds in prison. And because of these great deeds a following started and people started petitioning asking for grievance.
What if he didn’t do anything extraordinary in prison? Would the same people grieving now be upset or even care if he was executed the day after sentence? I strongly don’t think so.
All I’m saying is if you are against the death penalty lets here it year round through every case. Not just the “different” cases. And stop bringing up how good a person has recouped because every ones case might be different if that held up in re-trial.
My personal belief is somewhat against the death penalty. Because the death penalty doesn’t help anything at all. I view killing/executing and locking up no different in the basis of public safety because the person is in a controlled environment. But execution isn’t based on safety it’s more of a statement or a message, similar to “you do the crime be prepared to do the time” or “an eye for an eye”. I also think it is meant to close the predicament that cased the sentence, like a grieving family over slayed children.
It’s a tough decision and I’m glad I didn’t have the opportunity to decide this mans for fate or any others because I don’t know what I would do. But doing nothing is sometimes caring in more ways then one.
