Every convicted murderer should be executed in just a few years. Make no difference between 1st degree and 2nd. Make the method of execution match the crime and put video on the FDLE website. Make it painful and fewer years in jail. Less appeals and years means less cost too. Let the criminals out there see what will happen to them in a short time. There's your deterrent, in my opinion.

He probably knew how he would end it once he killed the first person. I really don’t think Boyette even thought about any of this while on his killing spree.

One: Get the bleeding hearts out of the equation. True the Constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishment but when it was drafted by our founders hanging was acceptable as punishment. Two: one or two appeals, no more than two years on death row. Three: Public execution of sentence. Just my 2 cents Want to make the death penalty effective?

I don't think that happens. States with death penalties don't have any lower crime than those without, and it is so much more expensive to sentence somebody to death. I'm not opposed to the death penalty, I just don't think it is effective the way we do it.

Anyone see his interview during the boyette case where a reporter asked him if boyette had enough prior that he should've been in jail? His statement was he doesn't want to waste court and jurors time trying a case that is not A very good chance he will win. Isn't that what the courts are for? To try cases and decide if they are guilty or not? If that's not the case and the state is only going to prosecute the proven guilty then why have a jury and court systems? Eddins has been in it too long and is only concerned about his "winning" record instead of the safety of the citizens of this state. Bill Eddins needs to retire.

Increasing severity of punishment has not been shown to reduce crime. Increasing certainty of punishment has.
