Nature justifies it! There are rabid animals of all kinds that need to be put down. That goes for people like Lee just as much as a foaming at the mouth dog!We don't need to justify the death penalty, the Supreme Court upheld it.![]()
Daniel Lewis Lee: US executes first federal prisoner in 17 years
Triple murderer Daniel Lewis Lee is executed following a US Supreme Court ruling.www.bbc.co.uk
US murderer Daniel Lewis Lee has been put to death, hours after the Supreme Court allowed the first executions of federal inmates in 17 years.
Several executions were initially delayed when a judge ruled on Monday that there were still unresolved legal challenges.
The condemned prisoners had argued that lethal injections constitute "cruel and unusual punishments".
But the Supreme Court voted 5-4 that "executions may proceed as planned".
Conflcited on this. Mr Lee is obviously no loss to the community and I suspect he has many friends on this board. But the death penalty belongs i the dark ages.
Good riddance! People like Daniel Lewis Lee don't belong in a civilized society! The death penalty is for people like Lee who aren't worth attempting to rehabilitate. As for it belonging to the "dark ages"? We put down rabid dogs because they're dangerous. We have rabid dogs that walk on two legs as well! Someone like a Charlie Manson can never be released into society...so why go through the sham of putting him in a prison for the rest of his life? Who does that serve? His victims? Society? Bleeding heart liberals? When you commit the ultimate crime...you should face the ultimate penalty!
