[quote="Low spark":13085]Sorry Green. I do not believe taking another human life can be justified in any way. We live in a world were revenge has become the driving force. I do believe that a person guilty of a crime as bad as this shoul go to prison for life, no chance of parole. But I also believe that his time in prison should be hell on earth. Torture, sure.. But since I don't believe in "Heaven/Hell" death would way out for the person.[/quote:13085]

Low Spark.....while i respect your views, i disagree. This is a classic case of where the death penalty should be instituted. These individuals committed murder in different states, crossed state lines with the murder weapon, committed murder while in the commission of a felony (the Alabama robbery), and probably broke many other laws that i'm not aware of.
As far as living life in prison, thats a cake walk. Have you even been inside a prison before? The prisoners are afforded 3 square meals a day, free medical & dental, recreation, religious services, alcohol & drug rehabilitation, visitation, television, work programs, law library, commissary, mental health services, and protection.....yes, protection. Life in prison isn't all that bad. Don't believe what you see on TV and what ex-cons say about prison. They play cards and watch football all day and say they had a horrible experience when they get released. And how do i know all of this?....well, lets just say i work in an enviorment where i get a chance to see all of this from time to time.
As far as being tortured, that'll never happen. I can see it now, some Correction Officer is gonna torture an inmate so he/she can lose their house and family over it!! NOT!! The people who work inside prisons are ordinary people trying to make a living...not some rogue bunch who specialize in the torture of inmates. The Officers are there to keep a lid on the place and to make sure inmates get what they are entitled to by law.
The best punishment for these clowns would be to sit on deathrow confined from other inmates waiting to die. Who cares if it takes 10 years....they'll eventually die because of their crimes.
