I am against the death penalty under those conditions too. It's meaningless anyway after decades have passed. There's a case where four men murdered five others on the 11th of October. They were pursued two thousand miles, caught, extradited, and brought back for trial before the end of the year. The trial was over before January of the following year. Three of the four men were executed the first week in March. Now that's a meaningful and effective death penalty. I don't see the justification for a TV and computer AT ALL. Like that Joseph Duncan who murdered a family an hour's drive from here, kidnapped two children across state lines, and killed one of them. He's already been convicted, but there are several other trials, and of course the mandatory appeals will keep him going for years. It's too bad he didn't resist arrest with a weapon. Then it would be over.
