Suggesting that nobody cares when a man is put to death is a wild suggestion. So increadibly and maliciously ignorant that I’m stunned.

Sure, there are anti-death penalty groups out there, but most guys who are put to death — in fact, I’d say all of them at this point — don’t get the level of scrutiny this case has.
It’s just wild to me that a man can shoot a person in the head, execution style (for example) and only the anti-death penalty crowd really objects to his punishment. But most people generally believe that he deserves to pay with his life. A life for a life. I don’t personally agree with that, but that’s how it goes. Then you get a woman who tortures a teen girl to death, carves her up while she’s still alive, and we’re gonna pump the brakes because she’s female? It’s absolutely a double standard.
I’m of the opinion that nobody should be put to death by the state, that the state should be better than that, but let’s see how many come out of the woodwork for the next condemned man. See if it’s all over the news like this case has been.
