In the news in Virginia, a convicted killer has told authorities he wants to die and will continue to kill until put to death and he has kept his word by killing fellow inmates. His lawyers are filing last minute appeals against his wishes in efforts to save his life. Do you think convicted killers should be allowed to pick execution and their lawyers should accept it? Yes, the lawyers are just wasting money and time fighting something their client wants

No, the lawyers know their client isn't thinking clearly and that it's a decision he could regret later. They are clear-headed and not emotionally involved.

For a long time death row inmates were able to chose whatever they wanted as their last meal but some are now objecting citing examples of prisoners ordering tons of food and not eating it, or just the added expense to the taxpayer.
