What he did was totally heinous and pretty much unforgivable. He caused so much pain and fear in this country that I totally see why people want him to "burn in hell," I feel that way too to a certain extent. But there were so many deaths from this one case and each one brought so much sadness and mourning, each one was a blow...I don't want to see yet another death come from the same case, even though I understand that this is the one who started it all. IDK if I explained it well enough to understand.

Could you tell me what the positive gain would be for keeping this person alive and in prison for the rest of his life? Do you see any problem with the Bible saying both "Thou Shalt Not Kill" but also saying "An eye for an eye"?
I'm asking these questions with no hint of sarcasm or insult- I am truly interested in your answer. I've never really asked someone before.
