If an "insane killer" absolutely could not have done otherwise, we has a right to restrain that person for as long as necessary to protect society; *********************************************************************** We've tried that--it does not work. When medical professionals decide a vicious killer has been rehabilitated, it usually means "watch out law-abiding society....they've let loose another monster & you're his prey". I don't suggest someone should be sentenced to the chair after one killing.....but a two-time killer should definitely be put away permanently in order to make life safer for the innocent. If we could somehow choose infallible people to make the release decisions, I would agree to life in prison, but unfortunately, there is no such creature as an infallible human being--so the only way to keep society safe is capital punishment after 2 killings.(I'm sure the 2nd victim would vote for capital punishment after the 1st murder, if that was possible:)
