A man in Texas was executed for the murder of his live in girlfriend.  He said he killed her because she would not give him money for drugs.  He later confessed to a previous murder in Louisiana, some ten years before.  He continually was involved in crimes of drugs and violence and made threats, even to kill other inmates in his cell in prison.  He is exactly the type of criminal who deserves to die in the death chamber.

Too many people tell us that the death penalty is not a deterrent to crime.  In this instance the person put to death has had a lifetime of criminal activity and has even killed at least two other people.  If the first murder had been discovered and he had been executed for it the second innocent person need not have died.

The death penalty is neither cruel or unusual punishment.  It is cruel to lock someone in a tiny cell for twenty or thirty years, and it is cruel to the guards to have to guard them and the trustees to have to feed them and do their laundry.  It is cruel to the victims and their loved ones to know that everyday the person who did the murder is still permitted to live, despite overwhelming evidence that they are guilty.  We need a death penalty and we need to use it to kill murderers, that's what the SGT Says.
