(CNN) — Dennis McGuire, an Ohio man convicted in 1994 of aggravated murder, was executed Thursday morning, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction said.
I don’t agree with the “North Korean Brat’s” way of doing business but I do agree that if a person is found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, especially if proven by way of a DNA 100% fool-proof test, they, should be shown the gallows a lot sooner than 20 years.
Judge Roy Bean marched them in the front door, if found guilty out the back to the gallows. Saved a lot of paper work and expense. Lets face it, these people are not altar boys.
Appeals are OK for people that are found guilty by way of circumstantial evidence but if found guilty by way of DNA there should not be an appeal provided.
It cost approximately 48,000.00 a year to house one prisoner. The are 1,570,000 people in state and federal prisons in the USA. If my mathematics are correct it cost in the neighborhood 75,360,000,000 “big ones” a year to give these criminals 3 meals a day, air conditioned cells, access to libraries, gymnasiums and like Br’er Rabbit “back home where they belong. They love going home.

The “appeal laws” were enacted many years ago when it was almost impossible to absolutely determine the guilt or innocence of someone that was convicted. That time has long past.
Private prisons not run by any governmental agencies spend 45 million dollars a year lobbying to “keep their thing going” and make a whopping 5.1 billion for housing jail birds.
These private prisons do not want any of the old and antiquated laws to change; if the prisoners are sent to the big “cross bar hotel” in the sky with expediency that would cut into the prisons profits.
It is always about money.
Let’s dig up Old Roy Bean “the hanging judge” to clean up the prisons death role populations and then we can put him back to rest. As he has demonstrated years ago, he shows no favoritism.
