how so?

look @ how many people that they've executed. 3 people out of like 50 something. the last one was 10 years ago under bush. they might just decide to take the death penalty off the books by the time his appeals runs out.

you right.

But he's too high profile for that. He killed two cops in New York in a post 9-11 city. I dont even think he'll sit on death row for like 25 years like the rest. But like the DC sniper . Within 3-years he will be executed. Them cacs want his head on a platter..

true but you have to look at the appeals process for the federal government and a state like virginia. there's people that been on federal death row for 20 years plus that haven't been executed yet because the appeal process for them is still ongoing and the government is unwilling to impose the death sentence onto them. virginia is one of the states where the appeal process is very short and when the appeals process is over and done, they WILL execute that inmate. that's why the virginia sniper was able to get executed so quickly. virginia has executed about 100 inmates within 30 years AND only has like 7 people on death row. they don't play. the federal government has executed 3 people within 20 years and has over 50 people on death row. 1 of those opted to be executed when he withdrew his appeals. 2 were executed involuntarily after george w. bush signed off on them. it's NOT likely obama is going to sign off on his death warrant and it's VERY unlikely that the next president is going to do the same. the death penalty isn't as popular as it was 20 years ago. it's slowly dying so don't be surprised if the federal government does away with it as well as other states in the country. things are changing.

But Ronell has a public defender. They not giving that boy more than 1 appeal.

I just read more about this. He was 19 when all this went down

Finds it fascinating that most people agree that killing people is wrong, yet we can "legally" kill people and say it's just. Wonder how GOD feels about that.
