Death Penalty
- Share via
When was the last execution done here in California? What is the difference between life in prison and the death penalty? To me, it’s the same. When I was living in Virginia, there was an execution every month. When a murderer gets the death penalty here in California, he has it made. They have drugs, good food; they still have their rights. Who pays for this home away from home? The taxpayers. Execute these murderers within five years of conviction. Maybe people will think twice before killing someone.
