Underwood does not have down syndrome, nor is he retarded, nor is he a minor.

He couldn't possibly constitute a future threat to society unless the law assumes prison breaks. If he can't get out, he's obviously not going to kill again. So assuming that, why sentence him to death? Simple. He's bad and needs to die. Remember when I said "vendetta"? Blood for blood. Sounds like vengence to me, and this man is in the hands of the justice system now, not the vengence system.

And it is a death penalty. like raeanna said, its a penalty for a reason. Thats the law in OK. The penalty for capital murder is death.

Again, this reasoning screams vengence. So even if, after years of intense therepy, this man regains his sanity, we shouldn't even consider letting him free?

No. I can't even believe people are even considering not killing him.
