I don't want to pay for some jack arse in jail for 120 years. Execution is much cheaper.
for your information the process of the death penalty costs more than keeping someone in prison for life, all the appeals start to add up. Im not for the death penalty but i am for sticking someone in a life of solitary confinement. Also I think if someone is executed there should be evidence without a shadow of a doubt, which never came out in the tookie case. Just to make all you pro death penalty people think, on fox news i was watching a show about the tookie williams case and they said in the state of illinois in 2004 eleven people were executed that were later proven innocent. How would you feel if one of your brothers or sons or friends was executed and then later proven innocent? How does the state even repay these families? also just to let it be known im not some crazy left wing peice of shirt. I am quite conservative i just have a few problems with a few things that are followed by most conservatives.
