Because their crime was committed before the death penalty was reimposed in 1994, the killers were not eligible to receive the death penalty. |
Today we have the phenomenon of recidivist murder committed by released killers. |
The principal recorded killers were smallpox, influenza, measles, typhoid, typhus, chickenpox, whooping cough, tuberculosis and syphilis. |
The reaction to the murder case made it seem like the killers were degenerates, aberrant psychos who were far removed from normality. |
By whatever arguments killers attempt to make in justification of their acts, they must be punished in accordance to the law. |
In spite of reform in the law they say conviction rates are not encouraging and in most cases the killers escape justice. |
