Still, I have an open mind. Here are some of the answers I've read about and my thoughts about them. It is a deterrent to crime Many murderers, such as Karla 14 years ago, are truly despicable characters with extremely distorted and amoral views or under the unfluence of mind-altering drugs. I doubt the threat of a death sentence will have any effect on their actions. Also, I can't help feeling that it is unfair to kill a person as a warning to others.
Life is so precious and death is so permanent.
The families of the victims need the execution to feel that justice has been served In the particular case of Karla Tucker, this was not the case. Just my opinion, but I doubt anything will ever relieve his anger. Well, this is certainly very true. I don't know. Anyway, the same could be said for a killer sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole.
