My death penalty stance goes case by case.
This morning, I was as big a supporter as I ever was, when the state of Ohio killed cult leader Jeffrey Lungren.
He and his followers killed a family of five in Kirtland, the town next to Mentor, my boyhood home. After dinner one night, they brought the Avery family out to their barn one-by one (they had 3 daughters, the youngest was 7) and shot them, then buried them.
It shocked all of Lake County, that this offshoot Mormon cult was operating in our backyard.
His lawyers appealed up to the end, though their client remained unrepentant, saying he was doing God's word.
Rather than rehash the other nasty business conducted under Lungren's lead, I'll just say this: Good riddance.
