Happens all the time. I think there's been parents or kids of victims who've formed a "we're against the death penalty" society or the like.
I've always thought (but never said out loud) that anyone who hurt/killed a member of my family wouldn't have to worry about their public defender. |

So what?? The guy's personal philosophy is against the death penalty. Considering it was HIS father, what right is it for anyone else to comment?

Well if someone did that to my father, I would like them to be released, drop all charges. I'd rather take care of the scumbag(s) personally. It would involve alot more pain than the state would give.

On the other hand, our laws say that the murder of a human being is the business of all other human beings, and in Texas, the other human beings have decided to put the killer to death... |

I was afraid this was about James Byrd Junior.
This is the case of "We hate the death penalty because it is cruel and inhumane (the killer didn't really mean it) but we need hate crime laws to protect the poor black people. Oh yeah, don't buy a gun - your protection is somebody else's job." Damn, I hate everything about this case. |
