Alcohol is the devil's drink. I once had a police officer told me that 99% of all rape cases somehow involve alcohol. If there were no alcohol, she'd be out of a job. Just like how some cops get careless with a gun's muzzle at a gun shop, some pharmacists get careless with drugs and alcohol. This is the sad result. I think that if he gets treated for drug addiction, he would not be a threat to society any longer, so the death penalty would be too harsh. Killing the pharmacist won't bring the cop back to life. The death penalty is a waste of two lives, that of the victim and that of the killer. I think that the killer should work to pay restitution to the cop's family and return from work to jail (not home) and wear an electronic anklet. No parole. Ever. You take a life, you should pay for that with your life, but not with the death penalty.
I used to support the death penalty until I learned that 2% of death row inmates were found to be innocent when they invented DNA testing. That 2% is just probably the tip of the iceberg of innocents put to death.
And as a tax payer who has to pay part of the $24,656 per inmate, per year it costs (national average) to house these pieces of pond scum, I will politely disagree. If DNA proves it, or they are guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt, remove the burden on society and inject the cocktail.
