I don't think Ariel Castro should receive the death penalty

[Samantha]

33. There is zero chance of what I stated I would like to see happen to this man will happen

It is beyond the limits of the law (the part about seeing the light of day once a decade). But I think that man deserves to have a lot of time to think about what he did to those 3 women, and I do hope that means decades in prison. I absolutely do not want to see him be executed.

He probably will not be commingled with the rest of the population because as a child molester, his life would be endangered, so chances are to some extent he will be held outside of the larger population for his own protection. So if he spends a lot of his time in solitary, I certainly will lose no sleep over it.

I am not one who governs my life on the principles contained in the Old Testament. I am simply a human being who becomes more and more outraged everyday with the details of this man's crimes and the suffering his hostages endured. There are a few high profile criminals who are held in solitary confinement 23 hours a day, who can receive no packages, telephone calls, contact visits or normal human interaction. And I do believe you are correct that the ACLU would regard this as torture. But at this moment in time when this man is facing justice and this type of punishment is legal in this Country, it could very well happen to Castro. If it does, you will not see me out there protesting.
