He deserves the death penalty and maybe he will get it. But he will be incarcerated 4 15 years before his time is up, that is how our system works. Mitchell explain to me why the death penalty is not cost effective. I'm a little confused. I just cannot understand this concept, I mean to have the public pay 4 years&years to keep a person in prison, I would think that would cost more.

I haven't read these, but I've known for years what their conclusions are. Your gonna have to do the reading.
The justice system is in desperate need of reform. Once the penalty fits the crime and justice is swift, the crime rates will most likely go down...

I think our prison system in America needs to be tougher on convicts. They should only be eligible for emergency health care, like pulling a rotten tooth. They should have hard labor, no t.v., no computer, no risque material to view, plain diet-beans and rice, things like that. This would bring costs down and make prison a place that people don't want to go. I've heard of illegals coming here just so they could commit a crime and do time here. That said, I don't believe in the death penalty. It's not cost effective and I think all criminals should be made to work to pay for their crimes.

A car thief and a murderer as described above should not be treated the same. This guy needs to be snuffed out as quickly as possible. Cost effective? At appropriately $100.00 per day (California) to keep his sorry butt from his date in hell is not cost effective. How about us spend that 100 bucks on your child's education instead? waddia think about that? Prison is the new safe haven for these lowlifes and we make very certain that they are comfortable and well fed. We are very considerate to our murderers and killers of our innocent society. prison should not be the Waldorf hotel.

I suppose we will find out soon enough what new problems will emerge from letting out people who may be better off behind bars. Sorry I was commenting on Flips answer about releasing the criminals in CA.

Even the bible says an eye for an eye. As far as I know, turning the other cheek doesn't always work.

I completely understand all of the above answersss and somewhat agree with them. The only reason I am answering No is because I am a lowly human and I dont feel like I have the right to make that decision. I want to leave it to God. But please... Im not arguing with anyone. I understand why everyone said yes.

I agree. You'll never recover the loss of the life of the victim and there is always the chance that if the murderer has time to consider his egregious crime, he may repent. He'll still have to do his time here, the rest of his life with no chance of parole.

If you have ever been around these violent people you would say , HELL YES. There is no rehab. Now this convict will sit on death row somewhere at a counties expense not the state until he is executed. The county where arrested pays the tab on this crime because the DA seeks the death penalty. Society will be better off with this one out of touch. I dont care what any religion has to say about this trying to spare his life.
