His victim will forever be known only as a convenience store clerk while the media publish pics if the perp and recount HIS last moments.
Allow me: the victim was a college graduate, ready to move away to accept a job in his field (computers). He also had a wife and an infant. He was pistol whipped and shot in the arm while the perp tried to access the cash. Then he begged for his life on his knees as he was shot in the head. And the perp laughed about it to his friends, imitating for them the sounds he made as he died.
The only outrage is that it took 22 years to administer justice in this case.
I have to agree with this. Where is the outrage and concern for the real victim? Not only did he needlessly and viciously take a life, he got an extra 22 years to live afterward.
And what of the innocent people sitting on death row?
That's why we have the justice system. Plus such a thing is actually rare.

Imprisoning someone doesn't kill them and if a mistake is made, we can release that person. Not so with the death penalty.
Actually its not the case. In fact if a person is on death row there more chance of him being let free than those on life without parol. The death row is incentive to find evidence.
Note, while its not clear if the man was actually conscious during this fit (could've been involuntary spasms in reaction to the drugs that happened when man was unconscious), I refuse to get worked up over the possibility that a murderous maniac felt pain during his execution.
I bet the relatives of his victims, thought it wasn't slow and painful enough....
There really is no justice, unless you get it yourself.
When you make the conscious decision to unlawfully take another person's life, you forfeit yours.
You made that up

One doesn't have anything remotely related to the other. Revenge killing isn't something a civilized society does.
