Yes. The only time I agreed with the death penalty was when Westly Allen Dodd convicted of molesting and killing little boys asked to be hanged. That was his choice, and they let it happen. He knew he would be harmed or killed slowly in prison and wanted a quick way out. He also asked for hanging because that's how he killed his victims. From what I understand it's actually cheaper to let them rot in prison than to execute because of all the legal appeals over many years. Ted Bundy is from my town and there were so many more victims we never knew about I'm sure and it will never be known now. I'm all for giving them truth serum, if it actually works.
