This was not a passive murder (shooting), he actively beat these three victims to death with a HAMMER.

This man beat the victims with a hammer, with such savagery that the initial investigation, it was thought that they had been shot in their faces with a large shotgun. He should have been put down many years ago.

It is time to stop wasting money on this fool. He should have been executed years ago.

the death penalty is actually far more expensive than a system that utilizes life in prison

Against the death penalty in general, but then there are cases like this one.

regardless of your stance on the death penalty, the supreme court clearly established in 2002 that it is considered "cruel and unusual punishment" to execute someone with a mental disability. Johnson repeatedly scored below the comprehension level of a 5 yr old on disability tests.

Two wrongs don't make a right, it's NOT justice, it's revenge, that is evil. Makes you no better than the Perp.

in response to max de young: 1. no one was advocating this man ever be freed from prison 2. the death penalty is proven to not reduce the amount of violent crimes in a country

But it will prevent another wrong, and that may save an undetermined amount of lives.

I'm pretty certain the people he beat to death also failed to understand him too.

The Catholic Church swept pedophile priests under the rug for decades and facilitated human trafficking illegal immigration into this country. The pope and church deserve much criticism.

You don't threaten people with harm or death to gain peace. This is insane.

Disgraceful. Blasphemous. Politics has no place in religion. If a normal person went on such a disgusting tirade they would be fired from their job!

No politics, like the way the last communist pope was so anti-American and supported the global warming religion more than Christianity?
