alrighty. i'm not sure if he's begging for his life or not...from what i've read about it so far, it seems more that everyone is pushing it to where it currently is...along with those activists who are against the death penalty. i'm not one of those, by the way. i very much believe in the death penalty but i see extenuating circumstances in this one case where it might not be the wisest course of action.

you are very on point, though that when he killed those people he did give up his right to live.

personally, though, i think they should execute charles manson before this guy. but that's life for ya...a guy actually realizes his mistakes and tries to save lives is put to death while a psychotic murderous lunatic is kept alive and even has parole hearings.
