He won't. Suicide denies him entrance to heaven.
He must be slain by his enemies in order to be ASSURED a place in heaven.
The revenge-types will love this.
I am against it and all killings by the state in the name of 'Justice'.
Throw him in jail for life...protect society from him. But don't kill him.
The death penalty is for the ignorant and the weak, IMO.
Btw, I wonder how many Bible-thumpers will approve of this/any execution? You know, with that 'Thou shalt not kill' stuff and all.
No doubt they will find a Bible loophole.
He's a weak-minded young, even immature possibly, man. Alone. Facing a crappy quality of life up to an execution. I wouldnt be surprised if he took that way out.
I have never understood why the death penalty is considered a more just punishment than life in prison. Life in a supermax prison DOES suck. Death is just a dreamless sleep. No suffering, no regrets, no nothing. Just like before one is born...nothing.
People kill themselves to escape dispair. We often feel relief when a loved one suffering from a terminal and painful disease finally passes away, not because we want them gone, but because they are finally no longer suffering.
Euthanizing one's beloved pet when it is in incurable pain is considered a kindness by most people.
And now we are going to extend this same kindness to a killer rather than make him endure incarceration for the rest of his life.
I don't get it.

I would be shocked if he did. Faith is a powerful thing. Especially blind faith.
What you are suggesting means a complete change to the entire way of life for a demographic of very wealthy, powerful people; defense attorneys.
In other words, your hope is quite the long shot.
Are you eager to pay for His medical care and all necessities, As Well As legal counsel, for many decades to come and to take the risk of escape, hostage takings, etc?

The death penalty is barbaric. Hopefully, by the time his appeals are over, the death penalty will be abolished at the federal level.
The blinder the faith, the weaker the mind.

No--I would prefer him dead tomorrow.
But our appeals system needs overhauled.
Until then, he must be made to work his costs off.
An internal chain gang or rock pile would suit me--since righties are puffing out their chests on this thread .

Boston bomber Tsarnaev sentenced to death for 2013 attack
So my guess is Sister Helen Prejean's testimony to play on the sentimental feelings of the jury didn't work as lethal injection will be in this bastards future. He'll be most likely transported to a supermax, spending 23 and 1/2 hours in his cell while his lawyer no doubt will start the grind of appeals. Hopefully within a relatively short decade and a half - he'll get the needle, assuming the laws don't change between now and then.
The problem there is, whatever work they do, so long as it has value, takes paying jobs away from people that need them. That's one of the reasons that sort of thing isn't done anymore. Well, that and the corruption involved.
Russian prisons are pretty extreme and unpleasant, and very strict and structured. US prisons seem to be riddled with more crime and gang activity. Maybe I am wrong, but that's how it looks on the surface to me.

I'm in the same boat, bob.
No longer affecting life IS death, as faar as I'm concerned. And when you're behind bars, you're no longer affecting life.
Im sure the left feels he's a nice guy "deep down".
I say sleep tight sucker. I'd pay for the bullet if it was an option.
