RE: Often the crime is one of passion.
Crimes of passion seldom warrant the death penalty. Jeffery Dahmer systematically killed, dismembered and ate young boys (after committing unspeakable sex acts). Richard Ramirez stalked and killed for fun. These were not crimes of passion. These are deranged individuals, who deserve no less than death, and a civilized society would give them no less.
"On July 20 Ramirez decided to do a double. First off he killed Chainarong Khovanath, 32, then beat and raped his wife. Not content with that he took their 8-year-old son into the next room with a bottle of baby oil. Mrs. Khovanath was forced to listen as Ramirez raped him, then he stole about $30,000 in cash and jewellery. Ramirez then drove to a neighbouring suburb and murdered Max Kneiding, 69, and his wife Lela, 66. The couple didn't even have time to get out of their bed."
"Polly’s corpse was found with her miniskirt pulled up and her legs spread."
"Before any clean up began, Dahmer reached for his Polaroid to capture the entire experience so that he could remember each and every murder. Then he cut open their torsos. He was fascinated by the color of the viscera and sexually aroused by the heat that the freshly-killed body would give off. Finally, he would dismember the man, photographing each stage of the process for future viewing pleasure." |
