89. I am in favor of the death penalty only
Edited on Thu Apr-14-05 07:45 AM by AussieDave
when it can be proved beyond any shadow of doubt that a person is guilty. I know that's a tall order and a lot of times there can't be 100% certainty - if not, that's what "life without parole" is for.

As for Eric Rudolph - the difference between him and Scott Peterson seems to be that Rudolph had all these explosives hidden everywhere that the cops had to find. I think it's rather a small price to pay, knowing that Rudolph may live to a ripe old age seeing every twisted thing he stands for comprehensively rejected by the American public.

He's incapable of remorse, but I reckon sometimes stewing in prison for many years can be a greater punishment than a needle in the arm.

To answer the question - I'm NOT enraged - long may Rudolph rot in prison before he rots in hell.
