He was convicted for 3 murders.

His punishment as authorized by the People, State, and Courts of Tennessee was 3 life sentences.

While serving that sentence, he murdered another prisoner. That prisoner was in jail due to force-ably raping a child

That murder got him the death penalty.

He also during his sentence saved 3 corrections officer from harm/death during a prison riot.

He also apparently has been a presence of calming/reasonableness among the prisoners (which is mostly how he kept those officers alive during that riot.)

I'm not a squeamish type where the death penalty is concerned. I agree with the logic of it as both a criminal justice detourance as well as a just punishment when ordered by a jury of one peers when they have heard the evidence of your case and decide you have rated it.

I'm also staunchly Pro-Life.

However the original sentence was 3 life sentences.

From what i'm reading a judge ordered death based upon the killing of the child rapist in jail.

The simple question is, does the killing of a child rapist outweigh the saving of 3 guards lives in a riot and the positive influence of this prisoner to the rest of that population.

This guy is showing he is a killer who WILL kill again if he decides he is going to kill you. Lets not kid ourselves about who we are talking about.

He also rates correction officers lives higher than child rapists, in that he offed the child rapist and saved 3 correction officers who he very well could have had killed easily.

If your asking my opinion, have him serve the 3 life sentences, and warn the convicted child rapists to watch out, they earned it.
