Lori Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 No martyrdom for you. May you have a long, miserable life in that cell, and die of old age.
C.Biscuit97 Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 I don't want to get all political here but this is why I'm not in favor of the death penalty. If some how I had to choice between the death penalty and life in prison without parole, I would just the death penalty in the a second. The death penalty is an easy way out compared to sitting in a cell for the rest of your life thinking about how stupid you are.
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 I wanted him to fry but oh well. Four words for ya buddy: soap on a rope.
Like A Mofo Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 More tax $ wasted with a guy rotting in jail...why not just end it?

I'm not saying it's a good time by any means but for me at least, it's a hell of a lot better than being dead. For those who fear death, it's the ultimate punishment. For those who don't, who cares they'll be burning in hell a lot sooner and at a lower cost to everyone else. May sound cold, but that's how I feel.
slothrop Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 More tax $ wasted with a guy rotting in jail...why not just end it? 682872[/snapback] it is common knowledge that it costs more money to execute someone than to imprison him for life.
RayFinkle Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 it is common knowledge that it costs more money to execute someone than to imprison him for life. 682880[/snapback] you sir are correct.
cromagnum Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 He's a mark in prison, some one will stick him, no way he makes it.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 This is probably where he is headed... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADX_Florence
Like A Mofo Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 it is common knowledge that it costs more money to execute someone than to imprison him for life. 682880[/snapback] Honestly, i did not even know that. Interesting
KRC Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 it is common knowledge that it costs more money to execute someone than to imprison him for life. 682880[/snapback] $20 for a box of 30/06. Problem solved.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 I was ECSTATIC that this POS didn't get the death penalty, BECAUSE as has been stated, it costs more money to execute someone than incarcerate them for life. Instead in cases like child rape or murder, and this, the POS gets killed in prison within a year. Saves more money and eliminates the problem.

The death penalty is an easy way out compared to sitting in a cell for the rest of your life thinking about how stupid you are. 682867[/snapback] not to mention the number of prisoners who are gonna beat his ass, especially if they lost a friend or family member in the terrorist attacks.
The Dean Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 it is common knowledge that it costs more money to execute someone than to imprison him for life. 682880[/snapback] You are correct, it is common knowledge...but, I wonder if it is true. (FYI, I am against the death penalty.) I have never seen the studies and data used to make the claim, so i reserve judgement. It strikes me as probably being true due to all of the appeals and legal maneuvers involved in killing someone. I wonder what in costs in a state like Texas that has, basically, assembly-line executions?

If they were found guilty and taken out back and shot.......I would say just a tad cheaper than life in prison.
bills_fan Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 May you have a long, miserable life in that cell, and die of old age. As long as his cellmate is either Jeffrey Dahmer or a 400 lb jacked up triple murderer who is lonely and needs a friend.

If they were found guilty and taken out back and shot.......I would say just a tad cheaper than life in prison. 682950[/snapback] Again with getting too political, is more important getting the case right or saving money? I don't know the statistics, but for the sake of discussion, let's say 99.9% of those sentenced to the death penalty are guilty. To me, that 0.1% sentenced to wrongly die by the state or federal courts is way too many. Just make them rot in a cell, perhaps somewhat make some retribution to society, and let the powers above (or below ) sort them out. Just my two cents.
