“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.

Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.

Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

    That’s a good argument for increasing the threshold of guilt for capital crimes. But of those legitimately and obviously guilty, do they owe a debt equal to their own life for murdering someone else?

      How does their death pay for that debt? There is no compensation, no restitution has been made, nothing else is corrected. So, why?

        It would be restoration by proxy. I once had a friend who stole money. He did not know the person and could never find him again. To make restoration he gave an equal amount plus reasonable interest to a charity, anonymously. The charity was a proxy for the man from whom he stole.

          So, was the restoration something he lost, or something he returned to someone else? Would it have been restoration if he just burned the money instead of giving the money to someone?
