I understand the conflict and I understand your other points too, MS.
I don't know if Roof will be scared when he's about to be executed if he gets the death penalty though.
It would be, at minimum, a few years between conviction and execution. Some of the cowardly criminals we've covered in THE DEATH PENALTY thread don't even want to go through the mandatory appeals process and want to be executed as soon as possible. They're not afraid of death.
Others have been on death row so long that they've made peace with being executed long before the day comes (whether they've found Jesus or not).
