Clifford Boggess Should Be Executed

After watching Frontline: The Execution, i do believe that Clifford Boggess should have been executed, but for different reasons. Clofford Boggess admitted to murdering two older men, Frank Collier and Roy Hazelwood. Jack Collier and Lisa Hazelwood are both family members of the two individuals who were brutally murdered and they wanted Boggess dead.

Lets begin with Lisa Hazelwood, Lisa said that is "killed" her emotionally to wonder what Clifford was doing, alive, in jail. Lisa wanted Clifford to pay for the emotional toll that he put on her by ruining her family. While we all understand that Lisa has had to go through a lot emotionally, do we really agree that Clifford should die for upsetting her? After Clifford wrote her a letter trying to explain what he did and apologize for it, she became even more upset. After Clifford's execution, Lisa told Frontline that she was upset that Clifford got to pick the day he died and could pick where his ashes were spread. It is this type of thinking that i differ from. Clifford murdered her father, yes, but that doesn't turn him into an object. He may be an evil person but he is still a person non-the-less. I think Lisa was being extremely selfish when she was not happy with the "freedoms" Clifford had to choose when to die. The world doesn't stop because her father was murdered. Sadly, these things happen.

Jack Collier told Frontline that Clifford may think he is accepted in the eyes of the lord but he is in fact not. Since when is religion fact? I think that there is way too much religion involved in the justice system. I think Jack handled his brother's death the right way, he kept on going. That is what a killer wouldn't want. Lisa remembers Clifford every second of every day, Jack caries on without Clifford's memory...because that is what everyone wants, to be remembered.

Personally, i think that Clifford Boggess should be executed because he admitted to premeditatively murdering two people, case closed.
