1985 - 2014 = 29 years.
I am not a fan of the death penalty but, 29 years is too damn long. Too long for the victim’s family to go through multiple appeals. And too long for the killer to await his fate.
If we are to have the death penalty, then the sentence should be carried out within no more than 5 years after conviction. Carried out soon enough that the public can even remember the crime. 29 years, 29 years. Shaking my head.

Anyone getting to the point of death penalty has done some very heinous things. Good that they are now permanently out of society.
