"Montoya (DA) said he supports the death penalty and believes Crusius deserves it. But he said he met with the families of the victims and while some were willing to wait as long as it took for a death sentence, there was an overriding desire to conclude the process."

This is the problem
You can throw a man that pleads guilty in jail for 90 consecutive life sentences and be "over"
Now, to see if he really did it and deserves the death penalty...yeah going to have to take a lot longer to just make sure....
We simply shouldn’t have the death penalty
It's alright to put a person in jail for 90 consecutive life terms and never look back. Feel good about ourselves because if we got it wrong, we "could" look into it.
Death penalty should be used sparingly
Wife poisons her husband? No because there's never going to be 100% proof
Kid shoots up a school? Yes because you know it was them 100%
Zero tolerance for the death penalty.
You can draw all the lines you want or come up with all the scenarios that make you feel justified doing it. My answer will always be no. I’m not trying to argue with you, I just have an uncompromising stance on this and don’t want to waste your time.
