Considering you oppose the death penalty, how do you propose stopping this murderer from killing again?

is this real? i don't believe this actually happened. it sounds like utter frogshit. anyhow are you suggesting that a government should create legislation based on a single scenario? it's one thing to say "this guy is a bastard and deserves to die", it is another to actually legislate such punishment.
here's another scenario:
A man is convicted of a crime. He is executed. It is later found that he did not commit the crime and was completely innocent.
one of the big problems with the death penalty is that courts (and the Einsteins in the jury) get it wrong...
