Capital punishment

I don't generally think that capital punishment should be really implemented by actually killing the convicted criminal - I'd rather have the person locked up in jail for life.

However, in a few cases, actual execution looks justified. If a person is already sentenced to life in prison for rape and attempted murder, and then taunts the authorities and the relatives of victims calling them stupid and bragging he murdered the sister of the victim - believing he is protected by the American double jeopardy rule - it is very difficult to feel sympathy for the man^H^H^Hbeast when the state decides to put him down. He worked really, really hard to deserve it.
