"The only thing that matters is that the executioner is competent and sane." Teri Schiavo was not even afforded that courtesy.

[sandbar:] whereas the psychiatrist who is TRAINED and SCHOOLED to recognize people trying to fool the mental health community is just a fool. You assume that the psychiatrist is honest. We all have seen trials where the defendant was obviously insane and still the trial went on. This is one example:
The Aliens Are Innocent!

And you are assuming the psychiatrist isn't honest.

And you are assuming the psychiatrist isn't honest. I am not assuming, I strongly suspect it, or he can be a fool. Or both. There are many nut cases in US prisons and the general public is quite ignorant about mental disorders (or maybe just eager to punish and prosecute).
Human nature does not change and we know from history that in many times the majority of public ENJOYED executions, tortures etc ... (consider the public executions in the Middle Ages or Roman Circus)
Now answer my question, I gave this example: The Aliens Are Innocent!
What do you think about psychiatrist in that case?

"...I don't care what the mental competence of a murderer or any other violent criminal is..
Their Actions are what is relevent..
If they cause the deaths of innocents, then they should be dealt with accordingly..
A dead criminal will never kill again.. Amen, brother...and none of this life without parole stuff. Look at our (I'm in Kalifornia) world famous Chilren's Story writer "Tookie" Williams; in prison for murder and causes the murder of 3 other persons.

. "Mr. Banks is not with us mentally," one of his lawyers, Billy Nolas, told the judge.
--NEWSFLASH pal. He killed 13 people. He never was "with us" mentally.
