Thanks, death penalty opponents, for insisting that scarce budgets be spent keeping him alive all this time.

Life in jail is cheaper than the DP's process with all appeals, death row security etc. Also awaiting a natural (slower, more decrepit, more meaningless and insignificant) passing is more punishment than a quick end. Even more so for a rock-star fool like Manson.

I used to be pro death penalty but now they just need to sit and rot. With the caveat that now backwards legislation can ever get them out.
