Here's how I see it:
If we can let Terry Nichols (OKC Bomber) live, how can we say we are righteous in using the power of the state to condemn anyone to death? I was pro-death penalty until that decision came down.
When we are dealing with justice that is so final, we must dispense it equally or it is simply not justice, it's something else -- revenge.
Our court system doesn't exist for the purpose of revenge.
