Get him with attempted murder.
The death penalty needs to be brought back.
Yes and yes! He clearly tried to kill this poor woman.
Be careful what you wish for. The death penalty is a political football. If prosecutors have access to it, they manipulate things to make sure they make their mark and make their careers on “I got the death penalty for this bad person who did bad things.” Because that plays well with the voters, other prosecutors get re-elected by claiming they got the death penalty for someone else[, except maybe they didn’t have such good evidence but it’s totes ok because they got the death penalty.].
I don’t think that capital punishment, in and of itself, is a sin or a moral wrong. Some crimes can only be leveled by death of the perpetrator. But prosecutors are human beings and the political incentives are there to turn them into truly horrible human beings. Truly horrible human beings suppress evidence, suppress jury selection, lie about evidence, help bad cops or bad (worse) witnesses, and other things. I don’t believe that there is sin in capital punishment; I believe our system of justice is insufficiently capable of recognizing when it’s actually warranted.
