Man suspected of killing mom, stepdad could face death penalty

That executed cockroach will never again kill anyone. I don't particularly CARE if it deters others or not, though the argument that it's not a deterrent is another one of those self-fulfilling prophecies that death penalty foes have caused themselves, by making capital punishment so uncertain and variable in its application. The simple fact is, however, that a victim's family should not have to pay to house, feed, and clothe the person that killed their loved one....and society should not have to pay a lifetime of support for someone who poses a threat and will produce absolutely nothing in his life. Why blow money to keep a convicted murderer alive? So he can escape? So he can kill someone else in prison? What possible value does it serve? Limit the appeals process, make it once again affordable and start ridding society of the vermin.
