For instance John Wayne Gasey, 36 bodies buried under his floor boards but he lived 15 years in prison, Ted Bundy, etc. There was an execution done 22 years after the murderer was convicted and sentenced to death. Taxpayers footed the bill for his care. He didn't have to pay rent, utilities, or have any outside responsibilities. The people he killed didn't get to live the 22 years that the state gave him. I think it's wrong. It's one thing to execute someone from he say she say but if you find a head in the refrigerator and a heart in a pot of water boiling on the stove and a place setting on the dinner table and dude is sitting there with a fork in his hand that's pretty open and shut. I believe smoking gun convictions should be executed within two to three months of convictions.

I agree 100 % . Here's something else to consider. I heard about this awhile back..A man gets the death penalty and he wants it carried out now,but they won't. It seems they still made the guy go through all the appeal processes etc. If it was me I'd prefer to get the injection and be done with it. Why can't the court just accept it when someone says "I did it, I'm sorry, don't waste taxpayers money on me, let me receive my sentence now."

You are right. Good question.
Ironic..... The people who are against the death penalty complain how much it costs to execute a killer.
BUT, they are the same ones who cause the years of high costs by all the long appeals that they have forced on the system.

Absolutely correct! After conviction, they should be executed; no if's, and's or but's. Firing squad is cheap and would be a good example to other murders. I think the same thing about child molesters.

i think they should only be given one month in prison then executed. this will give the state time to ready the burial and etc.

I think the death penalty is totally degrading and brutalizing those who carry it out and those who agree with it.
If it is wrong to take a human life it is wrong in all circumstances.
Murder is still murder when it is carried out as a revenge by the state.
