[Cerek the Barbaric]

I agree with the judge in this case - the punishment should fit the crime. And there are certian situations where the only fitting punishment is the death of the criminal.

I don't agree that locking them up for the rest of their life will serve as fitting punisment by making them "think about their crime every single day". Sociopathic killers have NO SOCIAL CONSCIOUS!!!! They don't care that they just murdered someone and destroyed an entire family. The ONLY regret they will have with Life Imprisonment is that they are caught and confined...and they will have plenty of time to either adapt to prison life or try to escape. Since most sociopaths are concerned only with themselves, adapting the harsh, self-survival environment of prison really isn't that difficult for them.

I'm sorry, I simply don't believe the theory that life in prison is a worse punishment than death...and I also don't believe that life in prison is a "fitting" punishment for certain crimes.
