Okay, I'm a little torn on this issue. I feel that no one deserves to die at the hands of another human being. The person that committed these crimes was wrong. Now the mental (something probably happened to him to go on this type of crime spree) lapse of this man is about to prevent the general public from identifying the molestors and rapists that live in our communities. This type of incident was all the lawyers (for these type of criminals) needed to overturn this wonderful tool. I think it's important to know who lurks in your neighborhood.
