I listened to the interview of the stepmother of one of his victims, it was stirring to say the least. The guy was an innocent, this woman was not hateful, just glad she could have closer on a very painful subject. I think she did the interview with incredible grace and dignity. She even admitted the good things he had done, but she said, it still won't bring back my stepson or the pain it caused his father. I can't remember her exact words. I do know this, she said he had a lot more time on earth than her stepson did.
The fact that he killed 4 people in cold blood makes me feel numb to his situation. One account said he laughed about one of his victims murder (Owens), I just don't understand. I did not grow up in poverty or in a rough nieghborhood, so I can not relate to his mind-set at the time. The truth is I just don't understand murder. Does one dying for his crimes attone for them? I don't believe it does, but to many in this country paying for murder with your life does make it right and attone for the crime. On a different note, if someone killed one of my loved ones I would want them to die and would do anything to see it done as soon as possible.
Thats my opion, its not necesarrily the right one
