        I’m against the death penalty only when there’s ANY doubt. In cases like this where there is NO doubt, the death penalty is appropriate, especially as a possible deterrent to those considering perpetrating similar horrors in the future.

        But a blackout death sentence, like no news allowed, no know location, like he is just gone and that’s it, no “fan fair” if you know what I mean to help discourage this

        Take the guilty plea and lock this guy up forever and ever under the jail. Not taking the death penalty off the table will result in a trial and more drama and he could get off as insane. Let's get this guy locked up. #TakeTheGuiltyPlea #FloridaSchoolShooting #Parkland

        There is a super high bar to meet the statute of mental incompetence. This dude is not getting out on that, he's going to be put to death,.

        He is schizophrenic and has autism. Just lock him up for life and don't waste money or time. Death penalty is 4× more expensive. If he goes to a mental facility, he gets out when he is on meds.

        You asked rudely, I answered without the snark. Research! Less than $18,000 a year vs over 1 million . How long so you think the inmates will let him live ? Next time, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!

        2.19002 million US$ for 70 years as a prisoner, plus any non average health issues cases where the death penalty is sought cost $1.26 million. sounds like a bargain. But you keep arguing to free this tortured misunderstand soul.

        The whole point of pleainf guilty is to save taxpayers a ton of money Prosecuting him, when at the end he's going to be guilty anyway.

        No, the death penalty will do nothing except prove yet again that the US is a barbaric country. The time to take strong action is BEFORE some nut gets a hold of a gun.

        You do realize that death penalty inmates cost significantly more than those serving LWOP sentences, right?
