My father was one of the two survivors. He already suffered nightmares from his time in Guadal Canal during WWII, after the Allaway shooting he had nightmares almost every night. I know it would have made him feel better to know Allaway was dead. Because when something like this happens to you, something freakish and violent and beyond your control, you begin to believe in the possibility of a repeat performance. If the perpetrator of your crime is dead you no longer have to live with that fear. As long as the murderer remains alive there is always the chance that he will get out- through clemency, escape, or parole- and it is that chance that haunts victims and I personally believe the victim and his or her mental health is more important than keeping murderers alive. But I have a visceral feeling for this topic- and Edward Allaway will probably be released.
