Ohio School shooter sentenced to life in prison

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

Good point Steve.
However he wasn't convicted of murder then, so executing people convicted of murder wouldn't have worked there either.

That's true too. Sure, if he was locked up all these years he wouldn't have killed anybody, and his escapes were from courthouses and jails, not from an actual prison. On the other hand he confessed to more than 30 murders before his execution, so which would be better - keeping him contained or just getting rid of him?

As I said, I'm not sure of my own feelings on this half the time, and I can see the merits of both arguments.
