And how many of the guilty convince a sympathetic parole board to let them out in their 50s and 60s? A mercy not available to their victims.
This is the reason why a number of states have re-written sentencing laws to specify a minimum percentage of the sentence for a violent crime to be served before even asking for consideration of release.
I have watched many courts in Louisiana specify a minimum of 85% of the sentence for crimes of violence to be served before any request for parole can be made, then give the maximum sentence so that the person will be damned near nursing home age when the time comes.

Murder, at least in louisiana and probably most states, carries a life sentence without parole.

You'd rather pay more to execute him?

Did you bump a 2 and half week old thread just to post that?

I saw an article on AOL posted today saying it was upheld. Rather than start a new thread, I searched and found this one like you are supposed to do.
