@ Sunburnt & Palynka - What would you do...

You can argue the merits of the death penalty but one thing's for certain. Put 'em in the ground and they won't do it again.

YES, but he won't explain WHY.

It's unbelievable how much smarter I am than the average death penalty supporter.

You 'don't believe' in it? It's not unicorns and fairies we're talking about here.

Nope, don't believe in it. Not worth taking the chance of an innocent person being killed by the state.

Wrong. Some years ago the rates were almost equal.

What is it with so many Americans clinging to their death penalty? Sad.

What are the odds on an innocent person having five corpses decomposing around his house for weeks ("if not months or years)?

Not very high....i would guess. However he should not be killed by the state, even if he filmed himself committing the crimes and there was no doubt of his guilt.
