It's better to let the convicted live. Three reasons.....
1. It's better to take the high road and set an example.
2. Often a person will be on Death Row despite being innocent (Holmes isn't but I'm speaking in generalities).
3. Being stuck in the can for life would really suck.
Also, I decided to return because I feel better, now. I didn't want to have another one of my kook-ball moments. I'm chill. Howdy!
