6. I wish you were as sympathetic with the man he murdered, the boy he shot at,

and the woman he kidnapped, beat up, and raped, and the officer he shot.

That man received a death sentence. He did not die right away. He bled to death.

It didn't JUST say "it's the law." I said I was okay with it in certain circumstances. I also said that that was determined to be his sentence, so it's time he pay for his crimes, after delay after delay over 20 years.

Many judges and a jury have determined this would be his sentence. There's no telling what his record was before he went on this night of terror. This is in no way like segregation. This man isn't even black, so the disparity in the death sentence of black men doesn't apply.

There is 100% certainty he did the crimes. It's not even possible that this could ever be a case where he's not guilty.
