He feels that a better
solution than capital
punishment is to give
mandatory minimum
sentences of 25 years with
no parole to persons
convicted of first degree
murder and 10 years to
persons convicted of
second degree.
He says it is con-
tradictory for the state to
condemn murder• and
condone capital punish-
ment at the same time.
He does not feel .that
capital punishment would
be the cheaper solution to
the erimi.ilal problem
beeauise if a person wae.
condemned to die, there
would be more appeals
and court costs on ,his
behalf. Also, juries would

verdicts knbwing that' the
accused could be put .to

He thinks that, there

pay for prison costs, to
help build a small fund to
establish themselves
when released from
prison and to help build a
fund for the; victims of
`crimes.
• "I don't think capital

I don't think it will solve
the problems of rising
crime rates and violence'
in society. I would rather
see longer mandatory
