Too Crazy to Kill??

in the early evening on Monday, the 8th of September 2008 by Tina

I hate this bull-crud decision.. The guy who killed 13 people, 5 of who were his own kids… He is too unstable to give the death penalty?? Spare me! And if he is unstable, isn’t  that a reason to give him the death penalty?

It is pointless to keep him in jail.. he can’t be reformed, he can’t be released! So what is the point?

Why do they protect an insane criminal MORE than they protect the innocent?????It sickens me!

I hope the prosecutors keep fighting!

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - A Pennsylvania judge says mass murderer George Banks is too mentally ill to be executed. Banks killed 13 people in a 1982 shooting rampage in northeastern Pennsylvania. Five of the victims were his own children.

Judge Michael Conahan agrees with defense attorneys that Banks is psychotic and unable to comprehend his death sentence or participate in his defense.

Conahan issued the ruling Monday, several weeks after a hearing on Banks’ mental state. The judge had decided once before that Banks couldn’t be put to death. But the state Supreme Court ordered a fresh hearing after finding that Conahan improperly barred a prosecution psychiatrist from testifying.

Prosecutors concede Banks is mentally ill but maintain the execution should go forward.

Slicing a warm slab of bacon is a lot like giving a ferret a shave. No matter how careful you are, somebody's going to get hurt.
