Executions should be televised in a 1-hour program.

Forty minutes should be spent devoted to honoring the life of the victim, in this case the police officer and Army veteran who was murdered.

Then, the evidence against the perp should be reviewed in a completely objective manner, free of the distortions by the social justice lefties. In this case, the large number of eyewitnesses who witnessed Rah kill the police officer and gave statements to the police immediately after the killing.

And finally, the execution.

Excellent rant. I agree with the good doctor/author. Medical people should not even be present during an execution except to sign a death certificate for the perp once the deed is done.

The only compassion warranted is a couple of hymns sung to the perps before the trap door is sprung, whether they want it or not.

I have taken to using this as an example why murderers should be executed... Edward Corliss, 65, is charged with shooting clerk Surendra Dangol in a Dec. 26, 2009 incident at Tedeschi’s on Centre Street in Jamaica Plain.

A social worker who went looking for batteries at a Jamaica Plain convenience store the day after Christmas 2009 yesterday described finding the “gurgling” body of the store clerk behind the counter, as a parolee’s murder trial got underway in Suffolk Superior Court.

On the first day of testimony in the murder trial of Edward Corliss, Christopher Jepsen told jurors he walked into Tedeschi’s on Centre Street about 3 p.m. and didn’t see anyone, but heard an alarming noise.

“It sounded a like a gurgle,” Jepsen said. “It was a gasp.”

Behind the counter, he said, he found 39-year-old Surendra Dangol lying on his back, his eyes open but no pulse, a bullet wound to his torso.

Jepsen dialed 911 from the store phone and began CPR until police arrived, their guns drawn.

Corliss, 65, sat expressionless in Suffolk Superior Court as Tedeschi franchisee Tariq Nehmood testified that Dangol was a hardworking employee of his brother’s from Nepal who was gunned down for $746.

At the time of the shooting, Corliss was on parole from prison, where he had a life sentence for killing a Salisbury store clerk in 1971. Corliss was released in 2006.

Corliss is charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm in Dangol’s death. -— marie.szaniszlo@bostonherald.com Poster child for Capital Punishment

Strong words, strong opinions expressed persuasively.

I hardly call 20 years of trials and appeals a rush to judgement that sent an innocent man to execution.

In South Dakota a man who sexually assaulted and murdered a 9 year old girl nearly 20 years ago is finally running out of appeals for his death sentence. He had two complete trials in different parts of the state to avoid any jury taint. He demanded and got DNA tests resulting in confirmation he was the person who sexually assaulted the girl. He has appealed on any technicality imaginable and cost the state taxpayers an estimated $1.5 million in legal fees. Finally all these appeals will be exhausted and justice will be served and yet their will be some who will lament this POS being put to death and speculate about his "innocence"

Does it strike anyone as odd that elite liberals who look down on decent everyday Americans could cry for a lowlife l murderer like Troy Davis? I think we’re starting to know who they really are...
