The problem with life in prison is that liberals let such people out so they can murder again. With the death penalty, pro-criminal liberals can't let them loose to murder again:
Look at how Dukakis started a program that let Willie Horton, a convicted murderer sentenced to life in prison, out on weekend furloughs.
Jerry Michael Ward -- Originally sentenced to die in the electric chair, for committing murder with malice in the rape and murder of a Houston school girl. His sentence was commuted to life in prison when the U.S. Supreme Court abolished the death penalty in 1972. Although the death penalty was reinstated, the sentence was not. He was subsequently paroled in 1984 after serving 18 years in prison. He was the number one suspect in two new cases, involving the the disappearance of Connie Sue Cooke, and the murder of Brenda Maureen Hackett. But althought police were on the verge of arresting him, Ward committed suicide in a self-inflicted execution.
Jack Henry Abbott, who had murdered a fellow prison inmate, was released early from a Utah prison. On July 18, 1981, six-weeks after his release, Abbott stabbed actor Richard Adan to death in New York.
Kenneth Allen McDuff is one of the most hated and reviled names in Texas criminal history. Often called "the Poster Boy of Capital Punishment," he is the only man in US history to be sentenced to death, released from death row and then sentenced to death again and executed for a different crime.

Subsequently released, and murdered as many as 19 young women after his release. Finally executed in 1998 for the murder of Melissa Ann Northrup see ... Who once remarked "Killing a woman is like killing a chicken. They both squawk." |
