Why? Because murderers often don’t stop with victim number one.
If a jury convicts Johnny Lee Williams of killing Megan Leann Holden, then I think he should die for the crime. Not because it will deter other people, not because revenge is sweet and not because he happens to be black. No, because it will guarantee he won’t repeat himself.
After you abduct and kill another human being at random, you shouldn’t get another chance. Period. Based on what I’ve read, this one should be open and shut. If Williams is found guilty, put him to death. It won’t save Megan, but who knows how many more people’s lives it will improve. And whoever killed Holden has forfeited his or her right to live.
Ask yourself, which is more civilized – 1) Killing murderers or 2) Letting murderers go and hoping they won’t murder again. I know which one makes the most sense to me. So would Megan Leann Holden, but she can’t speak up because she’s not breathing anymore.
