Dave is spot on in his complete and utter outrage at this unspeakable crime!

But, John, the death penalty is, so, well, final.
What if there was a mistake? It does happen, you know. Even in these apparently
close and shut cases, with “confessions” and neat surveilance videotapes and

What if the prison system was set up so that it didn’t cost the state to
incarcerate him, but instead it generated something for the victim’s family?
What if he was worth more as parts than just plain dead? Let him live out his
remaining years with a sliver of liver, one lung, one kidney and no eyes, every
day people perish for lack of a transplantable kidney, let him repay his debt
that way.
But to want to torture someone “for their crime” is to be as bad as they.
