20 years -- for what? > Rexroad.com

This Army Private is a complete animal and deserves to die. President Bush authorized the execution for him today. Seven years after taking office as President for a guy that has been on death row since 1988.

So is it over? Oh no. This article from CNN says that the American taxpayer not gets the privledge of paying for more appeals for this guy.

Once again, I am not against the death penalty. I am against wasting millions of tax payer dollars trying to make it happen.

This guy has been on death row for 20 years. 20 YEARS.

I know what the UCMJ says Pvt. Gray is required to get under these circumstances. I am quite confident that he has been getting a standard of care much greater than that. We can't just keep locking people up for long periods of time and then also paying for a large number of legal fees on top of it.

People are looking at law and justice based on the individual nature of the case. I think we need to look at the overall cost to society as well. Some of the things we do as a society just don't make sense.
