I think that there should be a "Green River Killer" approach taken nationally. (Serial killer, killed 50ish women over years finally nailed as DNA technology evolved as he was suspected but no solid proof until then.)

Offer life no parole, no appeals, come completely clean on crimes and you get spared the death penalty.

Only applied when you meet a high standard of evidence (more so than normal) so no BS eye-witness stuff....need DNA, video, caught with the body in your freezer type evidence.

This prevents the major problems of: no false convictions, no expensive and lengthy appeals, closure for the OTHER victims and crimes that you don't know about or only suspect they did.

Also, upon reading the piece we see upfront the guy is an anti-DP crusader who launches into a long lamentation of how bad it is and how the executeds moms cry and it's hard on the staff and blah blah blah but never mentioned what these 8 guys did to end up there.

We have 2 beating deaths of women. Several murder kidnappings including one of a 15yo boy and a couple more shooting deaths including an 18yo girl and a farmer.

Other news sites carried that info, Huff Po just pushed a soap box over to the anti-DP guy without any sort of balance or rebuttal. Pretty much propaganda.

No doubt they don't want to highlight the fact that most of them committed violence against young women...bad for the narrative.

I say, if they were convicted for heinous acts against humans, let 'em fry.

Was this the state I read they had to use up whatever drugs they use cause the expiration date was upon them soon?
Wish I was joking.

If you can't do the time, then don't do the crime.

It's not any more complicated than that.

What's so special about these drugs? Wouldn't using readily available bleach do the same trick?
