Haha, no person of faith here! IMO, providing a murderer with an opportunity to express -anything- is more of an opportunity than he afforded his victims. Maybe prison is punishment; or maybe it's a place to get a college education. To me, the ultimate price to pay for sadistically taking life is to forfeit one's own life. People like that have no business maintaining a pulse.
Funny how people who don't believe in a god talk as if they had god-like ability to decide who is innocent and who is guilty. While I'm willing to bet all that there is no god, there's a much better chance than this that the next person to be executed in America will be innocent of the crime he or she was convicted of. In fact, there is quite a rich history of people whose convictions were overturned posthumously. Too many for my stomach, which is why I won't get behind any legislation which doesn't prohibit this.
