But I also don't agree that we couldn't reform our judicial system to bring it much closer to fair administration. I'd also favor continuous federal oversight of its application.
I think it should be reserved for the most heinous crimes, including serial rape, and not for relatively simple homicide cases. For example, I don't support it in the Jodi Arias case.
In short, what we've been doing hasn't been working ideally, but I don't see how in this particular case for example it wouldn't be fairly administered.
I understand the moral argument against the state carrying out death sentences, but is life imprisonment that much more moral? In that sense, is any crime so serious as to warrant the actual or practical deprivation of freedom for the duration of natural life for the offender?
These are tough questions and there aren't good answers.
