DEATH ROW--death penalty in America

[crash]

(HOTD: that sounds fair, to me -- not excessive but enough to try to start over, though I won't blame Ford if he sues for more.)

I don't agree. Thirty years of someone's life is horrendous. Not to mention the abuse and humiliation he more than likely suffered within the system.

When the Cleveland girls were held against their innocence, society called for death for their captors. A stretch you might say? They were raped, bore children, and were held in terrible conditions. Yes, it is a reasonably long bow to draw, but this mans life has been similarly affected; I'm sure that he has been exposed to his share of horrendous treatment, kept in less than pleasant conditions and experienced things in his incarceration that he may well never recover from.

I think that's worth a hell of a lot more than the salary of a mid tier executive for a year.
