I find this case sad and disappointing, here is a case where there is no doubt about his crimes and if he committed them, this is a clear case for the death penalty.

Ahh the cost of death... I understand that these lawmakers are attempting to save money in capital cases as they are very costly, but this seems like a foolish way. Does it make you a better judge if you are elected? Sorry, but I have a lot less faith in politicians in a position such as this as they are elected based on their censored views. I feel this would be yet another hinderence on the justice system.
