    No, I don’t care. As far as I’m concerned they can do it before midnight since after all, he’s lived for years longer than he obviously should have.

    I don’t care one little itty bit.

    At least they’re kind enough to give him a pillow on the table. I wouldn’t be so nice.

    One thing really bothers me. How in the world would Gary Ridgeway, the green river killer, who admitted to killing 52 women, not get the death penalty if this guy does. If the death penalty was ever meant for anyone, it would be the Ridgeways, Bundys (Ted was a Husky, a Coug fan reminder), and Duncans. King County trial for Ridgeway, he wouldn’t have been so lucky in Cda, imo.

    Yes, it bothers me. Death is not the worst punishment, clearly isn’t a deterrent to others, and the sentence allowed him to have hope for many years.

    Thanks Digger, I wouldn’t have been that nice as well.

    Word on channel 4 is the Supreme Court gave him a stay
