I am against the death penalty for much of the same reasons that lebell set above.
I also agree that some prisoners are given too many rights and many are paroled far too early. Life in prison should be life in prison.
I would much rather have Timothy McVeigh rot for eternity, locked up and treated like an animal and beaten and scorned by his fellow prisoners. I think that would have been a much harsher punishment than the easy out he got.
