Reply #60: Taking that man's life won't bring any kind of closure to those girl's

family and friends, and of course, it won't bring them back. While there is no question in my mind that what he did was indescribably cruel, and I cannot imagine the pain of those family and friends (nor would I pretend to), but for me, there are no shades of grey. I am either for it or against it, and I am most decidedly against it. I would give him life with absolutely NO possibility of parole EVER. No privileges the general population gets. Solitary confinement, with an hour a day outside, by himself with only the guards to watch him. No TV, maybe a book every week or two to read, no music. Killing him won't solve anything, but maybe making him live mostly with his own thoughts and the memory of what he did would bring a bit of hell to him.

My opinion, and I know other people have other opinions, but I stand by mine. I cannot support the death penalty. The cause of death after an inmate has been executed is "homocide". How is the taking of one life more "legal" than the taking of another?
