Where is your concern for the victims?
My disdain for the death penalty does not lessen my concern for the victims or their families. The two are not mutually exclusive. Do not be fooled into believing the death penalty brings some sort of magical closure or healing for the family of the victims. It only exacerbates wounds and creates a new set of victims - including the tax payer.

Ya, it does. They can go to sleep knowing the person that murdered their loved ones is fricking dead.

frick off. We've got a liberal dipshit governor in La whose parole board is setting free a murderer who may actually be a serial killer after only 17 years in prison. Had he been executed, the citizens of this state would not have to be concerned that that piece of shite is returning to society.

This is the biggest crock of shite. It's like all of you people think that the penalty system is 100% about safety and rehabilitation. It's not. There is a historic retributive purpose in our criminal system meant to substitute for the inevitable blood feuds and vigilantism that would otherwise ensue. I know relatives of murder victims who say the death penalty did make them feel better and like justice was served.
TL;DR - Get this pussy garbage out of here. No one buys this and it is not supported by history.
ETA: if families of victims get nothing from the death penalty, then why aren't they constantly interceding and asking prosecutors to seek life? Prosecutors almost always take this into consideration. After all, that is a much faster process that requires less heart rending court time.

But how could you possibly know that for sure? Of course, it's not going to bring their loved one back but you have no way of knowing what's in their heart of hearts.
I, personally, am torn on the whole thing but I would never assume to know what it's like to be one of the family members nor how they will feel when it's all said and done.
