Glenn Beat Me To The Punch
No big surprise there though.
He has this.
And what it says is that the Alexandria jury hearing the case, has allowed Moussaoui to live.
Albeit behind bars for the rest of his life.
I think a lot of people expected the death penalty, and not surprisingly so, as the remnants of September 11th still ring loud and clear in the minds of Americans.
But was it the right decision?
This opens a host of arguments ranging from "murder is murder, down with the death penalty;" to "our inadequate and mostly broken penitentiaries are sullied with convicts who almost received the death penalty, and we are funding it."
What does the death penalty mean to you?
Did Moussaoui deserve it?
If not then who, if anyone does?
