According to Clara A. Thomas Boggs' Dec. 26 Viewpoints letter, it is wrong for Texas to kill as a punishment for killing. The state can confiscate, levy fines for stealing and imprison for the crime of wrongful imprisonment. Parole boards change, laws change and life without parole can later be revoked.
Parole boards are notorious for their lack of knowledge about changes in a convicted felon.
Too often there is no punishment and no rehabilitation, either. My greatest misgiving about the death penalty is that sometimes abused and innocent people are executed and only for this reason should the death penalty be abolished. Tucker should be put to sleep. Let her die with the consolation that she will go to heaven.
