Jay Scott, the Death Row inmate I have spoken of, is Black. His victims - no one has bothered, as far as I can find, to disclose their color. But the color of the man and of his victims, is irrelevant- the crimes speak for themselves. However, when the sentence is death and reasonable appeals fail to turn up mitigating circumstances that would merit clemency or a reduction in the severity of the sentence, a death sentence should be carried out in an expeditious manner. It's because I have so much regard for human life that I favor capital punishment.
Murder is the most terrible crime there is.
Anything less than the death penalty is an insult to the victim and society. Elysian Hunter is a freelance political writer from Ohio and is a frequent contributor to Ether Zone. Reposting permitted with this message intact.
