PEOPLE ARE SCARED OF DEATH.Including murderers like this idiot,why fight it for over 20yrs knowing you're guilty?HE'S SCARED OF DEATH!!!
I don't agree, nor do I believe the statistics agree. I think we keep the death penalty in this country out of some fundamentalist Christian eye for an eye mentality...

Sure the perps fight it, but if it was a deterrent wouldn't why would they have committed the crime in the first place?
