I favor the death penalty because scum like Edmund Kemper, Arthur Shawcross, Kenneth McDuff, Robert Alton Harris and William Spengler are unable to kill again once they are dead. Everyone of them killed, were released, and killed again. As it stands numerous scum like that have been released to murder again. Joran van der Sloot will be able to kill again when he is released from that prison in Peru since he will only be in his mid 50s. Valerie Moore was convicted of 2nd degree murder in 1987 in Washoe County District Court. In late 2006 at age 47 she set fire to the Mizpah Hotel in Reno and killed 6 more people.
Pedro Lopez was saved from being executed by a local tribe in Peru by a
kind hearted missionary who talked the Indians into releasing him to the local police. That
kindness resulted in over 100 additional murders. Lopez was convicted of numerous murders after showing the police the remains of 54 victims. Still the
kind hearted authorities released him in 1998 after he was declared sane when he was 50 years old. As of 2002 there was an Interpol advisory out to rearrest him for another murder. Good thing that
kind hearted Missionary talked those Indians out of killing Lopez in 1978. What Would Jesus Do?
