DC SNIPER To Be Executed in 2 Days

STILL some Killings Remain Unsolved as D.C. Sniper Execution Approaches I can still remember how they terrorized the DC Metro area, I worked two blocks from his first killings. Later i traveled to London and this story led the news over there, the day i came back is when they caught them.
The question became even murkier in 2006, when Malvo reportedly confessed to four additional shootings, including two killings, that had not been linked to him.

If Malvo's reported confessions are accepted as true, it would mean he and Muhammad are responsible for 27 shootings resulting in 17 deaths in 10 states (Maryland, Virginia, Alabama, Washington, Georgia, Texas, California, Florida, Arizona and Louisiana) plus the District of Columbia.

But Malvo would only talk to police in jurisdictions that promised not to prosecute him, a deal some agencies weren't willing to make.

So in Clearwater, Fla., the golf course shooting of Albert Michalczyk on May 18, 2002, officially remains unsolved, though Michalczyk took Malvo's reported confession in 2006 as confirmation of something he long suspected.

"My wife immediately thought it was these guys," Michalczyk said at the time. "We put two and two together, but we never came up with four. Now, we are coming up with four."

Police from Tucson, Ariz., consider the golf course killing of Jerry Taylor solved based on their interview with Malvo, which they obtained only after agreeing not to prosecute him.

The victim's daughter, Cheryll Witz, decided that knowing the truth was more important than seeing Malvo face criminal charges, given the fact that he was already serving life in prison. At one point, Malvo even called Witz on the telephone and apologized.

    The death penalty is the sickest of all sick things. No country can claim to be civilized if it murders it's citizens in the name of justice and the law.

    he'll be executed and nothing will change, and people will think the state justified in murdering another citizen.

    I live in the USA, have lived here my entire life, but one thing that boggles my mind is the fact that we still have the Death Penalty in this country.

    According to Amnesty.org, in 2008 the USA was 4th in the world in government sanctioned killing. 1st was China, with 1,718 (which is an INSANE number) 2nd was Iran with 346, 3rd was Uganda with 114 and the USA 4th with 111.

    I thought we (as in the USA) were suppose to be the guardian/police of the world? How can that be? How can we try and tell the rest of the world how to live (I'm looking at you Iraqi and Afghanistan, or should I say, people who support those 'wars') if we can't even join the majority of the world by abolishing the death penalty.

    I agree. What good comes of killing another person related to this situation?

    On the flip side, just for the sake of a good debate, what good does keeping this a**hole alive do? He murdered handfulls of people. Why should my tax dollars support keeping him alive with 3 square meals a day and recreation time? I'm not sure a killer of this nature deserves any better than he himself allowed for his victims. While the death penalty as it is used now is obviously beyond flawed, the argument for keeping this guy alive until he dies of natural causes just seems so shallow. He is useless to society, to mankind, and he is responsible for absolutely wretched heartache and the loss of life to several families who have lost their loved ones forever in a completely nonsensical and disgusting way. He and his accomplice were picking people off who were just out living their lives and doing such *gasp* horrible things like filling up their gas tanks. I do not see the use of this person being on earth anymore.

    With all due respect...fuck your tax dollars. It's those same tax dollars that also just helped pay for a million Iraqi's to be snuffed out.
    The death penalty doesn't work as a deterrent. It's useless barbarity that belongs with the Middle Ages. Maybe this person alive will be forced to confront what he's done, and maybe he can do some good somewhere down the line. Either way, murdering the murderer doesn't solve anything, and benefits no one.

    I am against capital punishment for the reason you stated- this human should live because he will touch others lives- good and bad. Through this others will feel and learn. Does he deserve to die oh yea but that should remain in Gods hands.

    Personally I always thought that being locked in a solitary confinement cell for the rest of your life with no contact with the outside world would be a punishment way worse than a quick death.

    I used to agree with this statement...you know, let him rot in a cell for the rest of his life, thinking about what he'd done. But he's getting 3 meals a day and a place to live...which is more than a lot of people have...

    But, if someone murdered anyone I know, you better believe that I want the bastard dead.

    I thought this claim of a million dead Iraqi's had been pretty well disproved by now. The Associated Press stated in April that the number was about 110,000. Have 890,000 been killed in Iraq in the last 7 months? That million figure has been put out there by left-wing anti-war groups, there is no evidence to put the number anywhere close to that. And please, don't reply to this if your only intention is to make it sound like I don't care about 110,000 dead. I'm just trying to be accurate.

    it's cheaper to keep him alive in prison than it is to execute him. you know the tax dollar waste that goes with executing someone after the endless appeals process and so on? i'm not opposed to the death penalty morally... i couldn't care less. i'm opposed practically. it's more expensive, it's a waste of time and a drain on our judicial resources, and there are too many mistakes made. it's just not worth the hassle unless you get off on that 'eye for an eye' revenge killing kinda justice.

    with the money we'd save by NOT executing him, we could probably afford to give those other people 3 square meals and a bunk too.
  • It's cases like that that make me indifferent to the death penalty... I am against it in principle, and the fact that innocent people have been (and will continue to be) put to death disgusts me... But when assholes like this who are guilty without a shadow of a doubt are put to death, I'm not all that against it.

    You have low standards.

    Let me ask again though, as this "touching" you are talking about happens regardless of whether or not he goes to jail for life or is executed.

    After his sentence...exactly how is he touching anyone in anyway? Regardless of whether he is executed or serves life in prison, I don't see it.

    I don't see why they cannot be put to work making/doing bare minimum things too. I mean you don't have to go back to the times when it was hard labour but more like 9-5 shifts to pay back society for their mistakes. How many million are in your prison system now?
