Death penalty is right for Dugan
I read Chuck Goudie's column on Brian Dugan with two minds. On one hand, I oppose the death penalty. On another, I oppose Mr. Goudie's reasoning that Brian Dugan should sit and wait for some of his fellow prisoners to brand and kill him for raping and murdering an innocent 10-year-old girl. He could live a long time in prison. Charles Manson has; others with horrendous crimes in their pasts have.
I think in this particular case I would prefer that Brain Dugan face the terror and fear of the needle that awaits him for inflicting so much terror and tragedy on a little girl, her family, and an entire neighborhood where I used to teach.
