Killing a genocide is getting into his game. I guess life sentence (in a real prison, without any kind of prerrogative) could be even worst than death to a man like him.

Has that happened recently in USA?
You know how many appeals and years before an execution is carried out? There are plenty of safe guards in place.

Many have been releases when verdict have been found to be an error.

Nope. It's justice for the victims, their family and for the society.

Still, how can you compare the two?
