This whole thing is so stupid. It’s all about the fricking killer. What about that innocent woman just minding her own business get taken and raped and the just shot in the head. This is not a question or his guilt. How does this pos get any kind of choice at all here. He gave his victim ZERO choices. Was he this religious when he committed this crime??? I don’t care who or what he is now. They need to look more into what kind of person he was the night of the killing.sure people can change their ways while being in prison. But it STILL doesn’t take away the horrible crime they committed.

This exactly.
The news outlets keep running pictures of the the killer/rapist that are designed to make him look as benign as possible.
How about the anchors that read the blather about his religion spend a week in the cell with him, so as to get to know and profile his wonderful cause even better?
Why don't we get to see a photo of his victim and her children crying at her funeral posted next to every photo they run of him?

Not taking up for the dude, but a priest who has visited him for years wrote an editorial for The Advocate yesterday. I guess it’s subjective on whether you believe people can be rehabilitated after committing such a heinous crime 
Also, I don’t believe the victim had kids.

Well there you go… if that’s what they want that is the way it should be.. the family should have the final say. Without question.

Execution is back on! The judge dissolved his temporary order halting the execution.

You can believe in contrition and rehabilitation of the spirit without believing that earthly verdicts, once duly, deliberated and rendered should be nullified.
If the murder/rapist has truly come to repent about what he has done and the heinousness of his crime shouldn't he want to accept and comply with his fellow citizen's judgement?
Also, if you wish to have an orderly society, it does not seem right that a criminal's opportunity to be rehabbed should exceed the possibilities for his victim.

Someone said in another post the Buddhist inmate announced his newfound religion a few weeks ago, after meeting with his attorneys.
Is this true?
If so,
That lawyer is a hecka good budda salesman.

Rehabilitation is a separate issue from retribution.
If criminals wish to be rehabilitated, I support that.
Whether or not they wish to be or can be, they must be separately held accountable for their actions via retributive prescriptions. In this man's case, the retributive prescription is for him to be put to death. It is unjust for him not to be put to death.

Sorry, but the husband’s position matters much more to me than that of the sister-in-law.

He has lived almost 30 years longer than the person whose life he stole. What more does he want?

He conveniently asked for methods the state doesn’t employ. What if he asked to be placed outside during a thunderstorm to be struck by lightning?

Honestly, meditative breathing as the nitrogen content is increased from 78% to 100% gradually would be very serene. You wouldn’t notice a difference and then just lose consciousness.

What if his religion "does not allow one to die by execution?"
Slippery slopes and all...
