Thanks for the update on this one. Another one of those cases where the
death penalty should be *streamlined*. Once they are found guilty and
sentenced to die, give 'em one appeal and then stick the needle in 'em.
Just *my* opinion, of course.


Yeah, that'll bring the Hawks back to life, right? And make the
streets safer than if Skylar Deleon spends the rest of his life in
prison.

Yup. No chance for the DeLeons to get out and do it again.

You think prison really teaches repentance and good thoughts? I think
that anyone who could do such a horrific crime is a psychopath and will
never be "right", and should never be allowed back among the rest of us.

There's a case near here, where a fellow in his fifties just killed an
18 year old woman. About five months ago he was released from prison,
where he had finished doing 25 to life, for a previous murder of a five
year old boy.

Since I don't like paying taxes for fifty years to keep them alive, I
vote for the needle.

And there is no chance whatsoever that a 25 year old could grow and
change over the next two or three decades, doing good by working with
fellow inmates or convincing young people to not make the mistakes he
did. Like *some* other inmates who committed heinous crimes in their
youth have managed to do.

Nope, you say we might as well throw that life away as garbage. Must
be great to be able to see in to the future and know with such
certainty whether a person will ever be able to change and ever be able
to do any good for his fellow man. I don't know where one finds such
certainty about human nature and the future, but somehow I think it
comes from a place to which I wouldn't want to go.

You wouldn't want to be going to the bottom of the sea, tied to an
anchor, Bo.

A 25 year-old is damn well old enough to be completely accountable for
his actions. And no, I don't think he's ever going to be sorry about
what he did. In fact, I think he's right up there on the psycho-meter
with the DeLeons.

I vote with those who think dying isn't good enough for Machain and the
DeLeons.
