Having a family member murdered ....
has completely changed my opinion of the death penalty. The piece of sh!t that murdered my mother-in-law was only 17 and not eligible for the death penalty in Kentucky. I was a supporter, but I have since changed my mind. The death penalty is too damn good for him. However, the penalty I would impose won't happen. We need to eliminate the death penalty and also change the penal system. Food, water, and shelter is all they should get. No exercise, no contacts, no cable TV, no books, no nothing. Let the SOB's rot in their cells, slowly.
