Three charged in deadly Craigslist robbery
#17
We certainly have a provision for death penalty cases in Washington, and this one would qualify. Personally, I'm opposed to going for the death penalty, but my objections are economic rather than moral. Sentencing someone to death might "feel good", but it's extremely expensive revenge. Do some research on the costs of the long series of appeals as opposed to what it would cost to simply incarcerate someone for life. As a taxpayer in the county in which these people will be prosecuted, I'd rather see my money go for something more worthwhile. Besides, keeping them locked up forever gives them a really, really long time to kick themselves for screwing up big time and ruining so many lives, including their own.
