The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans rejected the appeal of a Texas death row inmate. Steven Michael Woods was sentenced to death for the 2001 murder of two people just north of Dallas. Ronald Whitehead 21, was lured into an isolated road after making a drug deal and was found dead with 6 shots to the head and slit throat. Another victim, Bethena Brosz was with Whitehead at the time of the drug deal. She was found still alive after being shot twice in the head and a slit throat, but died the following day. Woods was given the lethal injection this past Tuesday, September 13, 2011 after serving a little less than ten years. Does this bother anybody but me? Despite the brutal things he did to these people, I don't believe that we should kill a man, to prove killing is wrong. Don't get me wrong, he DEFINITELY deserves punishment.. But what better way than to just cage him for the rest of his life? I think serving a life sentence is much more appropriate than an injection that causes the "least" amount of pain. Wouldn't you rather have someone die in prison? Keyword-FREEDOM. Take his away, and it would cause a man more pain than any injection. Maybe that's just me though? My beliefs, call me crazy. I'd rather watch him rot!
