You're depriving a living person of reentering society if something about the trial comes out after death.

Dead people can't be re-alived.

I doubt they'll be that upset about it after death.

Hope the execution goes through.

Nothing puts a spring in my step more than hearing news reports of my state of Texas dispatching some scumbag to hell.

Well, other than an armed vigilante dispatching some scumbag to hell, before they even get a chance to get entwined in our farcical legal system that houses and feeds these cretins for two decades.

call me skeptical

a 2 year old doesnt end up with bruises and other injuries severe enough to kill them. unless someone did bad things to them. Mom either did it, or stood back and allowed it happen

Its just a philosophical question. Killing someone is a punishment, being dead is not a punishment. If I get sideswiped on my way home and die, my family will be upset. I however might not even be aware it happened

If you take a look at his posting History you would see that he isn't sure either at this point.

I tend to think of life as a gift, and depriving that opportunity as punishment from both self and loved ones.

If that's not true, then by your thinking killing shouldn't be a crime, since death is nothing more than ending of life, and they don't feel any pain after death.

The crime is the act committed against the living person. Is there such a thing as a crime committed against a dead person? Obviously you can commit a crime against a corpse. But that is a corpse, not a person.

Many legal rules suggest that the dead do not have rights. Often, the dead cannot marry, divorce, or vote. The executor of an estate cannot sue for the libel or slander of a deceased person. And the right to medical privacy substantially erodes at death, giving family members the ability to obtain sensitive information about a decedent’s medical
conditions.
