Seems strange to me that we're (as it us whichever way you choose to spin it) going to kill him. I know there's the argument about justice (or closure if you prefer) for victims, but I'm not convinced in his case. Sure he was a bad man but allowing him to face a life in prison seems more of a punishment to someone who's probably not worried about being killed for most of his life.

Anyway with our transatlantic cousins running the show - what else would you expect. Well let me correct that - what else would you expect currently. Yes the argument against the death penalty is slowly gaining traction in the US too - thank goodness.

Happy new year all
