Whoa! Wow! The mother went to pick up the kid at daycare who was left in a hot car. She said:

72. I totally oppose the death penalty

And I'm surprised that you'd pick this case to champion it. This case, in particular, is one where circumstantial evidence is going to be used to convict. Unless the he or his wife confesses to "we planned this", this particular case is going to involve NO direct evidence that they guy murdered his son.

Granted, from what I've heard, I'm assuming he's guilty. But even if I could be 100% certain that he were guilty, I still wouldn't want to kill him, because I fundamentally believe that would be wrong. The fact that the victim was a child, or that the murder was very maliciously planned for selfish reasons doesn't change that. If I could accept that THIS case merited the death penalty, why would I not accept that someone who shoots a clerk in a convenience store merits the death penalty? Is this case more worthy of the death penalty because a toddler died than if a 53 year old clerk died? Is this case more worthy of the death penalty because the murderer researched how to get away with it than if a robber just decided to shoot a clerk?
