Yes, my mistake. You seem to feel exactly as I do. I'm one who thinks the death penalty should be used sparingly. But in this case I see no reason this man shouldn't be sentenced to death.
I think we should have a higher standard of "beyond a reasonable" doubt for capital punishment. I don't think there is any question in anyone's mind that Cruz did what he was convicted over. I am all for allowing an appeal in capital cases, but this one should have been a death penalty, the appeal should be quick and and the final execution of the sentence done without delay.
Frankly I'd be happy to see him tossed into a wood chipper feet first.
