      Would you say this about any criminal, regardless of the offense?

      I’m not trying to argue anything. It’s a subject I’ve been thinking about lately and have debated with myself over the extent of this.

        Its a complicated subject for me especially since I am just a nerd and not a law expert. Unfortunately for her the entire nation has been intimately inundated with her case, which is probably why I feel I can give my opinion. All said, I think I would, I would like to say I would. Torture is not anything that accomplishes something, its pure sadism.

        What she and her cohorts did sickens me to the bone, as a many great things today do. But she still shouldn’t be tortured. It fixes nothing and warps the minds of its perpetrators. It is the hammer that turns all humans into nails, just not good.

      I agree that it isn’t necessary and I think we should use methods far more instant and guaranteed for the death penalty. Still doesn’t make me feel bad for her though.

        Dark future, indeed. The State should never have the right to murder anybody. The only person who should be able to decide if your life ends early is you.
