I haven't done any of my own research, but I have heard a fair amount about this.

First, I think he'd do far more good for this world and this country alive than dead. Killing him does nothing more than allow the families of the victims to get revenge for what he allegedly did.

Also, I hear often how he hasn't "confessed guilt" or "expressed regret" for what he's been convicted of. Is it certain that he was guilty of those particular crimes? I've also heard that he has confessed to other crimes, or other activities. Doesn't this give at least a little merit to the idea that he may not have been guilty of those specific murders?

If that's not enough for you, or if he truly is guilty, ask yourself what he'd be saying if he really were innocent and on his path towards execution.

Is there a way to grant him clemency so long as he continues his work with preventing gang violence? If so, I think that is by far the best option here, but that allowing him to live regardless of any qualifiers is better than killing him.

Then again, I oppose the death penalty in almost every, if not every, case.
