Honestly, I am one of those that are on the fence about the DP. Although I do feel that this is appropriate for cases as this that four people were brutally murdered, and especially with a child in the house who was forced to live with the dead bodies afterwards, I also look at the totality of the years ahead. All of the appeals that happen and the families' constant reliving their devastation in a legal forum, having to hear the rights of the convicted murderer, not allowing them to try to move forward...even up to the time 'so many years' ahead when an execution date has been set, appeals go on until the very end. I think it is really up to what the families of these victims want to see justice for their loved ones horrible demise...fortunately, I have never had to make this decision.
