Good news for New Orleans. We’re getting a new archbishop Gregory Aymond, who worked actively and visibly in Austin, TX to end the death penalty.
He’s coming to Louisiana at a good time. The LA Supreme Court is doing its best to expedite executions, setting its legal crosshairs first on Antoinette Frank. The Court is intolerant of the fact that LA hasn’t had an execution in seven years.
Reminds me of Chief Justice Rehnquist of the US Supreme Court, who did his level best to oil the legal gears of the death machine. “Let’s get on with it!” was his cry.
Look around. All around the land the death machinery is slowing down. Even Harris County in Texas, the very buckle of the death belt, had ZERO death sentences handed down by juries in 2008.
Archbishop Aymond is not afraid to speak out publicly about the moral wrongness of the death penalty. We welcome his moral leadership.
I agree that the abolitionists are not really interested in LWOP. >
I send this e-mail so you know the disastrous results that has resulted in Spain further legal reforms proposed by the liberals: should know the Spanish experience in abolishing the death penalty. You and many people of goodwill who believe abolitionists want to replace the death penalty for life without parole (lwop) unfortunately is not true defenders of the rights of criminals also oppose the parole life sentence with or without parole, these penalties along with the death penalty is banned in Spain and most countries of Latin America. If you do not believe me ask him to look on the Internet data on terrorist and murderer of 25 people Juana Chaos, a case even more shameful that the the Texan Kennet Mc Duff. But for that account as far fanaticism of the abolitionist text accompanying him on the serial killer Gilberto Champa: http://www.elpais.com/articulo/espana/presunto/asesino/Lleida/logro/pasaporte/Ecuador/pese/ser/criminal/serie/elpepiesp/ 20041209elpepinac_14/Tes The alleged murderer of Lleida succeeded in Ecuador passport despite being a criminal in series Gilberto Chamba served eight years for rape and murder of eight women in her countrie.
Supporters of the abolition of capital punishment are liars and deshonestos.Amnisty International, Human Rights Watch and Penal Reform claim that they want to abolish the death penalty so that they do not die innocent victims of miscarriages of justice but what they do not say is that it is opposed to ferormente The life without parole (lwop) to justify having granted parole to murderers of children and serial killers. truth is that if we defend the parole for lifers assume a high risk that the criminal released to kill.Cases as Kenneth_Allen_McDuff, Gilberto Champa, Darryl Kemp etc.If say that the rehabilitation support for these murderers admitting the risk of dying innocents.
> You send a greeting from spain.

Clear that after abolishing death the “reformers” would seek to attack LWOP next, then any long prison sentences.
Dear Alfonso,
May I suggest that you read this story about a case that happened in my country. It’s on this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesley_Molseed
It tells the story of how Stefan Kiszko, an innocent man, was condemned to life in prison for a crime that someone else did. The real killer was only brought to book two years ago.
Until this case I was a supporter of state killing of killers too, Alfonso. Let the facts speak for themselves.

Francisco Pérez Abellán
A rapist and murderer who asked not to leave you out of jail, but if you do. He was sentenced to 46 years for the crime of the washing machine in 1988. Abused a girl 12 years and put his corpse in an old washing machine. Jesus Hernandez, 52 years, now meets about alleged sexual abuse of another girl, in August 2004 in Miraflores de la Sierra (Madrid). He had already noticed, but the law has no solution for such cases. Nobody pays for big again repeat offenders.
In the Spanish criminal history repeated episodes in which a child rapist and murderer is released and returns to kidnap and kill another child. There are rapists who cry out the chemical castration, but they were ignored: There is no provision in our legal system.
Jesus perpetrated the crime of the machine in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Surprised his victim in front of his house, forced her onto his bedroom, the facts submitted to the repertoire of aberrant own a sex offender and then killed by a slash. After hiding the body in the washing machine, warned parents of the child and surrendered.
Strange behavior of Jesus, declaring that alcohol is considered a public enemy and says it can not go loose. He wants to return to prison because outside of his cell, he says, everything becomes chaotic and can not suppress their urges. The girl from Las Palmas de Miraflores and knew how they were when Jesus spent the loose. The latter suffers, according to experts, chronic PTSD, which suffer from the soldiers after a long season in front.
Jesus, the one who undoubtedly knows more than his, has not been heard. At times he wrote his letters in which counsel stated that a guy like him should not ever leave prison. He was aware of the risk. But only 16 met the forty-odd years that he fell conviction.
Just do not know what to do with subjects and for which the prison is a refrigerator that are frozen in their instincts. When they are behind bars do not have to be attacked, and returned to the game as soon as they leave the streets. They are the first to know, some even warn. Without result. As if his cries were lost in a vacuum.
The fact is that girls like Olga Sangrador could have been saved. Girls and boys who have disappeared and died. Potential victims (some victims without doubt) of offenders against children, some of them repeat offenders who use the slightest opportunity. We must realize that threaten our children, and someone should answer for the damage to the small ten years of Miraflores.
The prosecutor asked for fifteen years imprisonment and compensation for moral damages of 60,000 euros, but it is likely that the defendant is insolvent, and therefore nobody to repair anything. In addition, his return to prison only mean another season of “frozen instinct” that may not last long. And then what? How new to the streets to harass the neighbors?
It is incredible that not learn anything from such cases bleeding. Jesus was convinced that what he has no solution and that must never again be released. Why not make him any?
The explanation is simple, but absolutely not what the law expects. Here, the person committing a crime is tried and convicted, they serve their sentence, according to the peculiar arithmetic prison because … to the street. In our country we do not know the offense well, because almost nobody is studying, so we do not know what type of offender is Jesus. We could put this to be a rapist in extreme degree, alleged serial murderer in power, which is difficult or impossible to cure. Starting from the premise that the prison no one redeems itself, adding that there is any treatment to ensure that a type does not return to crime.
What to do then? Us alert to this serious shortcoming. We must find a place for criminals who should not return to the street. The first is to accept that this is so and not leave it to chance, producing many deaths. Meanwhile, back in danger every time one of them comes out of prison, maybe worse than entered. We can not forget, because the matter is not resolved.

conclusion: the abolition capital punishment is a mistake.ALFONSO dixit.
Dear Alfonso,
It seems to me you are making a case for life imprisonment without parole, not for capital punishment. There is no need to take a life to save these victims; imprisoning the offenders for life would have saved them.
