Personally, I think the comedian Ron White put it best.
"I live in Texas, and they are trying to pass a law that if more than three credible witnesses see you commit a murder...... Jack, you go right to the front of the line. Other states are talking about getting rid of the death penalty.......My state is putting in an express lane."
And that is why Texas has the highest percentage of putting:
a) Innocent people to death
b) Overturning death penalty convictions before the person was to be excuted.
Note: I did not say the highest number, which would also be Texas, because its unfair to the states with less Death Penalty cases.
Anyhoo this person... wanted to die.
I would have pushed for the good only life sentence, they suffer more and they don't get to go to their __ of virgins (I've heard a few different numbers) so soon.
Killing them just helps their point of being a martyr.
You see, the worst possible thing you could do to them is say 'your free' and send them back to their terriost recruitment camp BECAUSE listen to my logic, they didn't follow through on their goal, they didn't accomplish what was needed, to kill themselves in the process.
This would kill them inside, not physically.
