To hear how the victims were killed compared to lethal injection, I don't even blink when their time is up. Having to have pets put down, no one will ever convince me it is cruel and inhumane.

It was modern day judges that have decided that various methods of execution are "cruel and unusual". Maybe we need to change a bunch of judges, they are on the ballot every election.

Public execution does deter crime. I have seen this done up front and in person while living in Saudi Arabia. Public execution soes not stop crimes from happening but it sure did make it a rare occurence. people there leave thier doors to thier homes unlocked, thier cars unlocked, you didn't hear about ANY robberies or car jackings of any nature. Zero kidnappings, no one defrauded anyone. it was nice place to live for the most part. The only so called sex crime i saw prosecuted was a case of adultery, the man and woman both were stoned to death after being put into a hole with only thier heads above ground. The only drug crime i saw executed was a guy from thailand who was caught by customs with 3 joints in a cigarette pack and they chopped his head off. There was one murder charge and the oldest son of the victim decided the fate of the defendant which was death. All of these punishments were carried out in the main souk which is a market place.

I think a 10 year limit should be imposed to death row inmates on sole purposes of an appeal. If no chance at appeal terminate upon sentencing. As for the person who says we should bring back the rope I agree I believe public execution will stop a lot of crime. On the fact of people will see the system is no playing around.

The majority of the murders were violent so why should the death penalty be so sterile and clinical? Bring back the hangings in the town square! Bring back the firing squad! Put the death penalty out there and maybe things will change! If we are going to use capital punishment as a determent, then we should do so.

In this case, the convicted murderer should have been killed with an explosive device. The "constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment" should be revoked. Put FEAR back into the execution process. They don't fear the Death Penalty today. The method of execution should be in a manner similar to that which was used to kill the victim.

Apparently, the attorneys for Howell can also have closure knowing that the drugs used in his execution did work as they should. Over 20 years waiting, now the family can have closure.
