4thTimeLucky: nice post.
i definatly see your point above. let me make this up as i go along. Please note that these are an expression of my opinion and certainly not fool-proof. hell, i'm an idiot.

Any person above the age of 18 who murders, is proven to have tortured someone in a heinous way, raped, or poached/smuggled Protected Species of animal shall be put to death.

that certainly doesn't fit the criteria you gave me but i'm tired as all hell and am not willing to make the changes at the moment. if i had actual influence, though, i certainly would.
its just that there's way too much shit to deal wih and I find myself grinding my teeth when people who need a quick trial get put off for another 'no question' murder trial.
also, for sake of people who desperately needs funds for heatlhcare
and what not, it would be a way to save millions. i'm not saying these people are worthless scum, kill them.
i'm saying that, hey, they willingly went out of their way to cause serious harm of another life. they threw their freedom away for doing such and we shall NOT pay to keep this person alive when many citizens are dying for lack of funding. a clean, painless, cheap death is more than acceptable.
