   Oh yeah, I read about this.

   I'm pretty against capital punishment in general, so take that for what it is, but executing someone for something they did when they were eighteen really bothers me.

   I've never been a violent person but I do know that I was even more of an idiot then than I am now.

      She lured a classmate into the woods, slit her throat with a box cutter after torturing her for half an hour, bashed her skull open with a rock for good measure, then brought a piece of her skull to school the next day.

      Do you think the above should be chalked up as normal childhood indiscretion?

         Sounds more like they to be in a mental hosptial than a prison.

            No, why even bother. Irredeemable

            If you spent even a single day in these you'd know it's much more inhuman than death
