Death Penalty

The case of Carlie Brucia, whose kidnapping was caught on security camera, and whose body has just been found (Body of Missing 11-Year-Old Florida Girl Is Found), is a good one to discuss for the pros and cons of the death penalty.

It's hard to dismiss the video evidence (as well as the other clues that will doubtless show up; the alleged killer doesn't sound like a genius, as the whole camera thing shows). It's one of the nastier crimes in our civilized imagination.

Kill or not kill?
