Va. Governor Vetoes Death Penalty Expansion
The death penalty has always been the subject of great debate for me. Generally, I support it. However, I do not support the endless appeals and years of delays, costing taxpayers millions of dollars. A murderer tends to get more support from the government than any other person, and that is wrong. I also think the death penalty is an easy way out, after all, I’d rather be done with it then waste away in a cell for the remainder of my days. Also, I do not know that the death penalty prevents any crimes. Well, at least in Virginia, there will be no more crimes which carry penalty of death. Governor Kaine recently vetoed five bills that would have expanded Virginia’s death penalty, a state second only to Texas in executions.
