It's fine with me if the victim and her family don't want capital
punishment, as long as I don't have to feed, cloth, shelter and guard
the perp, and as long as the perp can NEVER escape.

You are paying much, much more for appeals to both the State and
Federal Court for a Capital Punishment case than paying for the upkeep
and cost for someone with LWOP. The appellate reviews, the State paid
attorneys for the defendant, State Commission hearings etc. etc. etc.

execute someone relative to the amount on death row and all the extra costs
related to both the trial and all the appeals afterward.

Which is why I said the appeals process is a farce for somebody like Deleon,
or Charles Ng, or Richard Allen Davis, or so many MANY of those convicted of
these atrocious crimes. Crimes where *guilt* is not in doubt what so ever.
And where we all saw the *fair trial* process.

There is no reason why the death penalty should be expensive, except for
the lawyers who profit. If a person is sentenced to death, just take
him out of the courthouse and waste him. I would prefer selling his
organs and giving the money to the victim's family.

Certainly the system is not perfect and some innocent people will be
killed, but nothing in this world is perfect. Should we outlaw marriage
because half of them fail? The answer to bad verdicts is not endless
appeals but to improve the system to reduce bad verdicts. A court
should be a level playing field; if the same govt pays the judge, jurors
and prosecutor can you expect acquital if you lack a $million lawyer?
Separation of powers is the answer, our founding fathers knew it but
failed to implement it. See my web page for details.

Move to China, where the particular fitness and need for a prisoner's
body parts often makes for a speedy execution.

Does marriage involve killing? Are the effects as irreversible as
death?

I don't know WTF you're trying to say here.

The disproportionate number of white perps, who get lighter sentences
for the same crimes, on death row, immediately makes the DP highly
suspect. It's pure circus for the masses, that's all.

Our ominous and powerful state shouldn't be allowed to kill people.
It's amazing that the same people who want less state controls will hand
over this power to their ultimate in corruption. How can you trust them
to kill the right person? What, is the State suddenly virtuous when it
allows an execution?

No matter how much a person deserves death (and there are many who do),
I'm not willing to give any government the power to make that decision.

Yep, and in the USA the government doesn't have that power. Only the jury
decides if they receive a death sentence or not.

Uh, no, the state and federal governments are consulted on appeal and
every death row inmate files for a stay of execution or a reprieve from
multiple sources who are NOT juries.

The State decides if the DP is on the table at trial. The State decides
which attorney indigent perps will get to represent them. The officers
of the State (not juries) review appeals.

The Government sure as **** has power over the DP. And they use it
shamelessly to prove what a great old job they are doing for you and me.

Isn't Texas like putting in a speed lane to the chair. I heard that in
Texas if there are 3 or more credible witnesses to a crime that qualifies for
the death penalty you get one appeal then you move to the front of the line
to get on the ride. The only reason it costs so much is because we have to
repeat the same process over and over to see if we get different results.
Killing them is not what costs so much, it's the pleasing of bleeding hearts
with decades of trials that only show the same things over and over again.
Here is an idea. Give them a trial, then one appeal. If they don't meet the
3 witnesss clause like in Texas then they get say 10 years in max security
prison to see if any new evidence can surface. One more appeal with no
admitance of anything the criminal has done in prison to say they are
reformed. If you didn't do it you can't be reformed. If found guilty then
thats it. Next week their time is up.

I think criminals would be more detered if there weren't so many people out
there looking out for them. If there weren't thousands of people that care
more for the criminals than for the victims. I also think that killing them
the way they did thier victims would also be a good deterent because when
they look at thier victims they will see thier own fate. Ever time you see a
murder trial on T.V. you see the killer looking sad but very little mention
of the victims. You hear thier names but that about it.
