Bundy escaped from jail. Twice. And killed again while he was free.

Also I wasn't telling the story to support the death penalty. My opinion on that changes fairly regularly. I was just telling a story about an old friend.

On the other hand I laughed when during the 1988 presidential debates Michael Dukakis, a strong anti-death-penalty candidate, was asked if he would still be against it if his own wife was raped and murdered. Poor Dukakis looked like the proverbial deer caught in the headlights, then finally gave a solemn stock answer that sounded like he was reading from a script. I laughed because I instantly knew what I would have said: "Yes, I would still be against the death penalty because I wouldn't want to fry for what I did to the *#&@^) when I caught up with him!"
