Execution of Timothy Titsworth
The murder committed by Timothy Titsworth was horrible, as are all
murders. However, executions are unnecessary because we now have life
without parole which is protective of society. The death penalty is
immoral and an uncivilized act of societal revenge. The criminal justice
system is imperfect and has sent innocent people to death row. I hope
that, eventually, the citizens of Texas will realize that we can still
have safety without killing other people.
