I'm anti-capital punishment (yes, anti-death penalty Republicans do exist), so this story doesn't bother me quite as much. Although, I think eating yourself out of an execution is an interesting strategy.

The older I get, the more I don't like the death penalty either. Some see it as eye-for-an-eye, but I just think the "right" side should try to do better than that. Either way, I think it's barbaric when people celebrate an execution. Executions are never ideal.
