Would you change your mind any if a man raped and burned and killed a daughter of yours? What would Jesus do? No I wouldn't change my mind.

Would you change your mind any if a man raped and burned and killed a daughter of yours? PROLIFE: that is basically the question I asked my brother who was against the death penalty and he said he would kill that person. My whole life I have been for the death penalty also, but as I get older, (I am 44) I am coming around to the side of being against it. My reasoning lately has been the death penalty is the easy way out. I think Timothy McVeigh should have rotted in prison for 60 years with nothing but 4 walls to look at and maybe pictures of his carnage on the walls. I am not for what passes as prisons today with cable TV, videos, and exercise rooms. McVeigh died with no pain whatsoever. He was put to sleep with a sedative first. I know all the arguments for the cost of feeding and housing that person for 60 years, but with all the appeals and lawyers costs, there must be a tradeoff somewhere.
