...some murderers have been known to be on death row for over 20 years... McVeigh was executed in about 3/4 or so years I think.

of course like you said every case is different, in the case mentioned in the OP it seems this idiot just meant to attack a fire truck not kill an innocent child..either way though the kid is dead if he hadn't been firing the gun in the first place that child would still be alive..punish the SOB..so he's ruined 13 years of his life..so what..you have to be alive to even do that yeah?

In the local papers the headline was "Child killer walks free"
no mention that it was 10.30pm at night in November and the kids parents were in the *****ing pub at the time.........
