    It is very difficult to stand against the death penalty when I read cases such as these. Although I personally would want to put these people to death in the same manner they did to other human beings, I cannot condone the death penalty. I DO BELIEVE A LIFE SENTENCE WITHOUT PAROLE is warranted in this case. I very much want to find some grace in my heart, but I cannot. So I say, life in prison without the possibility of parole is the fitting punishment. I hope that the God I trust in will have mercy on them, and on me. (for what’s in my heart). My heartfelt sympathies to all families involved in these atrosities. I remember you, Matthew Shepherd. Peace and All Good, Sandy

    Life without parole in solitary confinement would work for me. The death penalty doesn’t work and will only make this criminal a martyr for the white supremacist cause.
