NEW HAVEN, Conn. – A Connecticut man was condemned to death Monday for a night of terror inside a suburban home in which a woman was strangled and her two daughters tied to their beds and left to die in a gasoline-fueled fire.

Jurors in New Haven Superior Court voted unanimously to send Steven Hayes to death row after deliberating over four days. Judge Jon Blue will impose the sentence on Dec. 2.

"You have been exposed to images of depravity and horror that no human being should have to see," Blue said in thanking the jurors for their service.

Dr. William Petit, the husband and father of the victims, said the verdict was not about revenge.

"Vengeance belongs to the Lord," Petit said. "This is about justice. We need to have some rules in a civilized society."

Killing him does nothing Yurt. It serves no purpose beyond revenge, which is not the intent of our justice system.

no...it serves justice

the state should not have to pay to keep him alive, his life serves no purpose and he forfeit his life by committing such atrocious acts...further, it will likely serve as a deterrent

There is no evidence to suggest that the death penalty acts as a deterrent. The state also has no business deciding who is worthy of life and who isn't.
 
While I am of the general opinion that the state should not have the authority to end the life of any citizen, there are some acts so terrible that the person responsible is worthy of the ultimate penalty. As such you may consider me undecided as far as the death penalty is concerned.

It does too count as a deterrent.
When he's dead, he won't be able to bear, tie up, sexually assault, and/or murder andyone else.
Case closed.
 
Do they actually kill anybody there or is it like California where it means it will be a whole five years before you are eligible for parole?...
