Why I'm in Favor of the Death Penalty

Over many torturous hours, she had been repeatedly raped, sodomized and forced to perform oral sex, a prosecutor told a jury on Thursday. The accused, Robert A. Williams, 31, had doused the woman’s face and body with boiling water and bleach, forced her to swallow handfuls of pills and to chase them with beer, sealed her mouth with glue, and bound her wrists and legs with shoelaces, cords and duct tape, said the prosecutor, Ann P. Prunty. And now, Ms. Prunty said, he was asking the woman to gouge out her own eyes with a pair of scissors.

This is turning out to be one fucked up year.

Fuck lethal injection.  Anyone capable of that needs to be hung, drawn, and quartered.

The state should not kill it's citizens.  This case may be clear cut but most are not and the chance of executing an innocent man is not acceptable.

This case seems so clear cut that I would be willing to execute Robert A. Williams, but I don't think that he will get the death penalty for these crimes.

Death penalty? If you wanna be truely evil, just advocate live human experiments on the criminals and prisoners of the world.

I wish they would bring back the death penalty in Australia for scums such as that mentioned above. To be used in clear cut cases.

If a cop shoots someone who isnt a criminal or commiting a crime in a state/country where they have the death penalty, do we get to execute the cop?

The death penalty in the US varies from state to state.  In Ct and NY it's kinda complicated with certain conditions have to be met in order for the courts to get it or even ask for it.  Other places are not so picky

Yeah true, and I'm sure cops wouldnt even get anywhere near those conditions, in most circumstances.

Or the rich who have lawyers who make sure they don't get it.  Mostly it's the poor who can't afford an adequate defense.

The death penalty is way too humane for most of these cases. Letting them rot the rest of their lives away in jail is way better, and plus in the case you have the wrong person, you can partially rectify the situation.

If the poor deserved to live, they wouldnt be poor right?

Mr. Williams, who was homeless at the time of his arrest about a week later at the scene of a burglary in Queens, has a lengthy police record dating to his childhood, the authorities have said.

He was charged in a murder as a juvenile, though the outcome of that case is sealed, a law enforcement official said, and he spent eight years in prison for an attempted-murder conviction in 1996.

as almost is always the case the bleeding heart liberal criminakl justice system had him and let him back on the streets

The woman was returning to her apartment on Hamilton Terrace near West 141st Street on April 13 at 9:30 p.m. when a man who had gotten into the lobby entered the elevator with her and forced his way into her apartment,

as about normal it was totally preventable by not thinking it would never happen to her and being stupid and running around by herself

yeah hot young woman should be able to run around half naked and not be attacked, reality is they will be because some men are dogs, so accept that fact and look out for your own ass comes into play. i should be able to leave a pile of money on the dashboard of my car also, reality is I would be a moron to tempt somebody to not take it. To blow of basic human nature is being stupid, the woman was a fool for not looking out for her own safety better.

On the Columbia campus yesterday, Jenna Komerin, a master’s student in arts administration, said that the attack had changed her behavior.

“I’ve never been worried about walking home by myself at night,” she said, “but last night I walked back from class with another girl.”

what a moron

Where did the article say she was half naked, Johnny?

Would you still blame her for the rape and torture if she had been wearing a burka or a hijab?
