lol he's dead needles for everyone I say!!! Let's clear Death Row by Christmas. Lets give a present to all the victms families!!!! do the 30 to life plan, EVERY offender has 30 days to appeal, then on the 31st day, they DIE, every offender with a 30+ year sentence gets the same 30 days to appeal, then they DIE, save the state money, and get about 10-20 of them in a gas chamber and gass them, then have it be like a transforming chamber, where it transforms into an oven, and gets rid of the bodies, only to be prepared for the next 20
