Does Kansas have the death penalty?

[eauclaireliberal]

Roeder DID committed 1st degree murder. I'm just curious if this prolife bullshit is really worth dying for.

They seem to think so, which is pure nutty. Stupidity isn't grounds for martyrdom.

Phelps will get in the spotlight somehow over this. It's the perfect opportunity for a slimy opportunist.

4. Actually, they do. No executions since 1976, though.

2. Yes.

I do not support the death penalty, but I know they have it.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Kansas IS a death penalty.

Badoom crash. :P

Just kidding folks!

5. Kansas has the death penalty, BUT

it has not been applied since 1976. See the graphic in the lower right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_United_States

6. Yes, they call it an "All You Can Eat Buffet"

All the shredded pork BBQ you can stuff on seven or eight plates.

7. Better he has to rot in prison

for the rest of his life. Killing him will just make him a martyr to the pro-life kooks.

9. RE: Better he has to rot in prison

...that, and he becomes someone's bitch.

10. "Someone's wife"??? Forget it, odds are he'll be in a supermax

facility with no contact with other cons.

The fucker can go preach to the bedbugs and cockroaches for the rest of his miserable, useless life.

8. I doubt they'll be able to seat a jury that would convict this guy

let alone give him the death penalty.

The anti-abortion viewpoint is very ingrained in the populace of Kansas, thus it is unlikely they;ll be able to find 12 jurors without some bias to nullify in this case.

11. in that case....

hello, feds....
