Death Row......

All this talk about the sicko that murdered the little girl got me thinking about something. I wanted to ask all of you your opinions on something my wife thinks is a good idea for members of death row. I personally think it's a good idea too. She has always believed that all persons on death row should have to surrender their organs for sick people who need an organ donor. In my opinion there needs to be something else they can do to contribute back to society besides sit and suck up all of our money!
So what do all of you think??[?][?][?]
I just came back in and had to add this edit to my post to be clear. I'm not talking about taking the organs for donation after the execution is followed through...I'm talking about taking them when needed IMMEDIATLY if necessary.

Mentioned this in another thread: cut off the tip of their pinky finger. Brand them as what they are for life.
If not death, that seems the best alternative IMO.

Not sure about the organs. Loosing a kidney and living fine afterwards seems a small price to pay.

FrOg,
Oh, Im not talking about just a kidney... I'm talking about everything and anything up until they follow through with the death sentence.[}:)]
As sad as it is, I do not think all folks who are NOT organ donors do not necessarily want to donate, I believe they've either not made their intentions known, or worse yet, or just to lazy to check the "yes" block on the back of the DL [V]. Of course, I may be wrong....

A dead intruder cannot testify against you in a court of law!
If they're still moving, put another round in them!

I agree. As with my prior idea of branding the killers with cutting off their fingers, the system will have to put a whole lot more effort into making absolutely sure (as much as possible at least) that the verdict is correct.
As for the case we're referring to here, however, it won't be much of a sell to convince a jury of this guy's guilt. Doesn't seem to be much doubt about it.

There should be no such thing as Death Row...Convicted took to the courtyard and executed for such crimes.

AMEN to that toolmaniam!
Foreget the right to a speedy trial... how about the right to a speedy cruel and unusual punishment![}:)]

We have allowed the preversion of the justice system to not have a speedy trial AND a speedy punishment.
I have no problem with executing the jerk that killed the little Florida girl or anyone like that. Even let the family pull the switch if they want, but no torture or desecration of the body.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
In the old west they hauled them out to a rope and ended the sentence then and there. Why have we changed to what we are today.
Its just plain stupid.
Get rid of them.
As for the guy in Florida. They should haul his worthless hide out to a ant hill, tie him down and spread syrup on his testicals. Then when the ants are done drop him into an alligator pit for a swim. I could go on but why.
