Seven77 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 No. Like the article said, a life sentence will prevent him from committing crimes in the future. And, the death penalty would be granting his wish for "martyrdom"… why not punish him by letting him live? It's just that simple. Nice play on names in the topic though. I almost voted maybe before I clicked the link... but that would prevent a possible conversion and repentance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossCuT Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Letting him live leaves the possibility for a change of heart and to feel remorse for the lives he took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice_nine Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'd be on the fence but the fact that he wants to be a martyr makes me think we should just stick him in jail for his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Having been in a wheelchair for almost 9 years, I can say that it isn't an easy life. That's a physical reminder every day of what he did. I heard a speaker once who'd killed a little girl on a bike when drunk driving. Judge ordered him to send $10/week to the mom for the rest of his life, at the mom's request. At first it was okay, but when time had past, it was like opening a wound back up again. He tried to send her a year's worth of checks all at once, but was told that would violate his parole order. The mom said that's why she requested it. She knew she'd remember for the rest of her life and wanted him to have to too. Every day when he wakes up and remembers he can't walk will force him to remember what he did and hopefully at some point he will feel remorse.
