So much ignorance in this thread.
1. People in supermax prison don't have a "general population". They are locked in a cell for 23 hours a day with a 4 inch wide window.
2. Complaining that the cops didn't kill him when he was dying. Is that the type of society you want to live in? One where cops can be trial and jury?
3. Timothy Mcveigh died in 4 years because he dropped his appeals. There will be a decade minimum until this guy is put to death. Probably closer to 15 or 20 years. It will also cost a ton more than if he was sentenced to life.
I agree that he seems like a little bitch and just wanted to do whatever his brother thought was right. I get the impression that if he wasn't the brother of a fucking idiot, he would have probably turned out to be a regular kid.
I also find it sad that the parents have to deal with 20 years of appeals and relive that day. They even asked for life in prison, which in fact would be 100x worse than lethal injection. 23 hour lockdown for life is no joke.
