I don't know but have read that in a time of public hangings of pickpockets, other pickpockets would rob the audience.

Just look at any sane person who smokes. 20 years later he gets cancer and now people feel sorry for him and pray for him when he knew all along what he was doing and knew what the result was likely to be. A truly deranged person will not think about the possible penalty for whatever they might do. That's how their mind works. How can you change this? YOU CAN'T.. Solution? I have no idea but killing them is merely vengeance and we know what the bible says about that. (New Testament of course) I disagree with any of you who think that anything can deter a deranged person.

Speeding up the execution process DOES save taxpayer money. I can almost assure you if we went back to public hanging or beheading violent crime would go down. 100 yrs ago the crime of rape was a capital offense in the state of Florida China has the best judicial system. One appeal and you are free or they put a bullet in the back of our head. Sorry Jack I must disagree.

If criminals thought they would get caught, they wouldn't commit the crime, so making the penalty harsher or executions faster will make no difference in stopping the crime. Also, criminals have a way of justifying their actions. If they believed the deed was wrong or bad, they won't do it. So they use rationalizations like "I was trying to help or teach a lesson etc." Similar to the reaction to a speeding ticket. The speeder wants to know why the police aren't looking for "real" criminals or "because I was in a hurry, it's alright to ignore the speed limit". I don't have a solution, but until someone can find one, our court system is the best we have. The problem with these kind of solutions are they are devised and submitted by reasonable, sane minds.

The taxpayers paid $1.8 million in housing, food and legal fees. Give them a 90 day appeal, then execute on day 120. The only good out of this was his victim was with God when he left this world. 18 years is too long. The taxpayers paid $1.8 million in housing, food and legal fees.

I agree wholeheartedly with Anne. Instead of letting the scum live on while they eat up taxpayer money and breath good air someone more deserving could have they need to try, sentence and implement sentence no later than 18 months after they are convicted. When is enough going to be enough? Our children; babies, future leaders are being killed off or tragically scarred (both mentally, physically and emotionally) by these animals. Of course something else that could be done is once they are convicted place them in general population in prison....problem will be solved quickly by other inmates.

Thu, 13 Feb 2014 17:38:09 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=168506#comment-252497 @jeeperman, if you are advocating for public executions or even video recordings that can be released later, I'll agree with that. I've also said here before that the method of execution should match the method used on the victims. In this case, the victim was murdered with a gun, then the killer should have been executed by a firing squad. If the execution is shown publicly or video is released, that might deter other criminals from commiting future murders. Put the FEAR of the execution process in their minds! They are not afraid of a simple injection that takes place 20+ years later. Make it soon and painful and the criminals and their enabling defense lawyers will think twice! @jeeperman, if you are advocating for public executions or even video recordings that can be released later, I’ll agree with that.

The judges need to get rid of these sub-humans one year from the date of the guilty verdict. It would stop at least half of these perverts in their tracts.
