Clifford Boggess- to be or not to be?

The question is; should Cifford Boggess have been executed or served life in prison? I beleive he should have been executed like he was because he was a killer and nothing was going to change that fact. Sure, Boggess did show some change in his life after several years on death row, but so do all others on death row. Looking at my list, the reasons to be executed far exeed that of mitigating factors. Its very small, but there is a slim chance he could escape from prison and that is not something I'd like to risk. He told his girlfriend that he'd kill her if he ever got out and I'd think he'd be quick to kill others too. Why have this killer among us, even if he is locked up? Killing came easy for Boggess, there was anger in his killing and almost no sympothy or regret. He even stated that he enjoys killing, and people say he shouldn't be executed? And when going to prison he showed no emotion because he was a tough guy that killed people. Having this killer is prison for life will do no one any good and will only do bad for others. The victims' families could not rest until they knew Clifford Boggess was executed. Knowing Boggess was executed, they felt they didnt need to worry about him any longer, though the pain was still there. Clifford Boggess brutaly killed two defensless people and theres nothing that can chnage that. No new religion or paintings can ever change that he is an angry, brutal killer who enjoyed killing. For this, it was justified he was executed.
