OP-ED: What to do about the Death Penalty?

   This week we've heard a lot about whether the death penalty should even be on the table as punishment in America after a botched, tortured execution of an inmate.  What has America come to?

   On the one side are those who say  he deserved it. He killed a 19 year old girl and there is nothing wrong with tasering him and torturing him to death after 14 years in prison.

   Of course, that makes US as bad as the inmate or killer. Is that what America wants? I don't know! There are strong voices on both sides, but I know I couldn't live with myself as a torturer or killer; even of another killer.
