Sure, this guy warrants the death penalty. But the way it is handled these days is ridiculous. What is the average time spent on death row?......something crazy like 15 years?
Committing a crime worthy of the death penalty in 2010 and then finally being put down for that act in 2025 is not a deterrent to crime. Some of these death penalty criminals are on death row for more than 20 years. Absurd.
This guy needs to be put to death right now.
Please don't tell me that the State does not have the right to kill it's own people. If an off duty cop had been in that theater and killed this guy on the spot, he/she would be a hero. That hero would have been acting as a ward of the State and would have been doing their sworn duty. Why is it so much different to kill that maniac today as opposed to three days ago?
It's a crying shame that this monster who went on a killing rampage is now afforded 10 times the protection than all of those victims combined.
James Holmes should be convicted of murder by the end of the week and breathe his last breath no more than ten minutes after the verdict.
