QUOTE: "When a state puts death row criminals
to death quickly, it creates a chilling effect on violent criminals in our
society," Sheriff Jack Parker said. "While
working in the jail in the 1980s, I often heard inmates say the only thing that
kept them from killing their victim was their fear of the (electric) chair.
Unfortunately, waiting too many years for a death sentence to be carried out is
bad for the victim's family, bad for justice and dilutes any deterrent
value." [Sunday 17 July 2011]
