DEATH PENALTY

GANG VIOLENCE

I know a lot of people are against the death penalty and this case is probably a good example for why, but there are many others on death row who have said they found religion and are a changed person. Who can you believe has actually changed or how many hope they their story will be bought and they avoid the needle? Look at how many swear to the parole board that they are a different person, only to break parole and end up back in prison.

Yes he wrote books about the dangers of gangs and may have steered many away from gangs, But, by his receieving the dealth penalty has he shown that you can't talk your way out of a death sentence. Had he had his sentence commuted, the those who follow him would have said that yeah you can do the crime, promise you've changed and end up spending your days in a place far better than the streets of LA.
