There goes my liberal cred, but there are crimes that call for the ultimate punishment on occasion.
There was a case nearby where a man lured his 9-year-old neighbor into the basement of their apartment building and raped and beat her to death. Her blood was all over his clothes and there was no doubt whatsoever that he was guilty. Sorry, this man does not deserve to breathe anymore. He showed no clemency to the little girl. We're in PA so he got "life" which truly is life here, thankfully.
