[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1369368, member: 20599"] Her beliefs didn't protect him from the imposition of the death penalty. Surely you don't propose that only pro-death-penalty attorneys be allowed to represent defendants in death penalty cases? As to his [i]wanting[/i] the death penalty, no doubt he wants to be seen as a martyr, to draw more idiots to his "cause." Besides, if he so hates prison that he'd rather die than stay there (in solitary, where my understanding is that he's been, no doubt for his "safety"), maybe we'd be better off not giving him what he wants (death), but instead holding him in solitary til he rots. At any rate, if he is mentally competent and wishes to stop all appeals, he will likely eventually get his way. (Here is an interesting article on how these issues are balanced: [url=http://www.jaapl.org/content/27/3/471.full.pdf]http://www.jaapl.org/content/27/3/471.full.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
