It doesn't alter the fact that the death penalty is out of place.
Lemme put it this way:
the actor called Mr. T has never been my ideal,
but during an interview, he once mentioned that his mother
fell victim to a mugger (assault & robbery). She identified the culprit:
one of their neighbors. Mr. T said that he and his brothers
went and found him, because he had put his hands on their mother.
That did not sit well with them.
When asked whether thay had killed him,
he declined to reply, except to say that: "you won 't see him no more."
If I were on a criminal jury in a homicide trial
to whom similar facts were presented,
I 'd vote and argue to
acquit defendant. He did an honorable thing.
(Note my
agreement with Bill, qua raping and burying alive 9 year old girls.)
