I think you've mis-directed your post/reply. I wasn't arguing in favor of the death penalty. I only acknowledged that it's the law of "parts of" the land.

I just responded to the last post, not necessarily directed to you.

Also, I am not arguing against the death penalty in general. My questions are about employing the death penalty in this specific case. My feeling is that this case called for clemency, and I have yet to see a cogent argument against it, and that includes the arguments made by the prosecutors, at least according to the papers.
