    Why? What would execution accomplish that life in prison would not?

    Yep, you need to rot just like Carla’s brother stated in court. But, I disagree with a life sentence, and you should get what the inmate in Atmore AL got last night. A Nitrogen style execution. You took the life of a beautiful person for no reason. Don’t forget how you have left Carla’s family/friends and your own mother feeling. You made the choice to live the rest of your life behind bars.
