Death Row Inmate's Life Of 'Leisure': Danny Robbie Hembree Writes Shocking Letter

I could not agree with you more! Although I share many of the same concerns as a great number of others, I am one who is in full support of the death penalty. There was a very true statement made by a juror in a murder trial many years ago “Better it is that 10 guilty men go free than to have put 1 innocent man to death.” I wholeheart­edly support the essence of what that juror was saying in that statement. Yet at the same time I have no objections to the execution of those who have clearly admitted that they have done this heinous thing.

There are those that have cited the fact that the death penalty no longer has the power that it had and it is this very type of situation that has essentiall­y neutered the system. Criminals no longer fear the death penalty because they know for a fact that the system will allow them to languish in comfort for many years before their sentence is actually carried out. It is only [if and] when they start getting close to the very real fact that there is a distinct possibilit­y they will actually be executed that they suddenly find religion and repent for their sins, not before. This man may feel that he can ‘meet his maker with a clear conscience­’ but he has only been tried and convicted in a human court, he has yet to face the court of the Almighty.
