Repeat DUI offender that killed a young girl shanked and killed in prison

[ACMF74]

you are grossly misinformed.

execution costs 3x what imprisonment for life costs.

not to mention, 50 years of staring at a wall is a far bigger punishment than being put to sleep.

this is where the Judaical system is incredibly inefficient.

And could you point out to us where exactly the Judicial system is efficient?

Costs for capital crimes are increased significantly because of court costs; the burden of proof is much higher (depending on the state) compared to a non capital crime. Plus, all the money must be paid up front (trial) vs costs spread out over however long the person lasts in prison.

Bingo. The cost to actually execute the person probably isn't much in the scheme of things. But all the court and lawyer fees associated with getting to that point are so expensive. The inmates usually can't afford attorneys so we provide them, and they usually sit on death row for years with multiple appeals.

i can decide in my mind if i would rather the drunk driver that killed my dad have this fate or stare at a wall for the next 25 years...

2 previous DUIs and all he will get is felony DUI

It's better to let ten guilty men go free then execute one innocent man. Our justice system is far from perfect and there have been many cases of men being cleared of a crime AFTER being executed. I don't disagree with executing violent criminals in principle, but there is simply no way to prove with 100% certainty that someone is guilty of a crime. For this reason, the death penalty should be abolished.

^ Yeah, we should let them all live on a Incarceration Island instead.

Exactly, the guy on death row can appeal as many times as he wants (I think, correct me if I'm wrong on that) and that is what costs tax payers and the state so much money.

a drunk 24 year old with 2 previous DUI's hit my dad doing 70 head on in a no passing zone, at a split in the road where there is a curve....

how is he not 100% guilty again?

Bullshit.

[kylekrueger]

believe me this guy was definitely guilty and he got what he deserved. I don't think there is no doubt in anybodies mind that he was guilty. The jury took about 5 minutes in deliberation to determine that he was guilty.
