I remember back in the 1960s and 70s when an outgoing governor would commute all death sentences to life in prison.
I think that may be why Charlie Manson is still alive.
FEB 15, 1933,Guiseppe Zangara shoots at FDR and hits Mayor Anton Cermak, who later dies of his wounds.
MARCH 20, 1933 Zangara is executed for murder after ONLY 10 days on death row.
Now THAT was justice! None of this 20 year silliness.
TWO THOUGHTS: 1) Support for the death penalty is a mile wide and an inch deep. 2) I think that in order to get over the fact that ‘innocent’ people are convicted I say consider his/her rap sheet to see if he is worth having around/breathing.
I don’t think that Yasser Arafat or Fidel Castro should be entitled to a natural death. We got laws against that too.
