Clifford Boggess

Clifford Boggess should have been executed. Everything he said that had to do with remorse was an act. He seemed like he did not feel sorry for what he did. He talked about it as though it was an everyday activity. Clifford Boggess would say things like "here is a picture of one of my victims" and think nothing of it. However, he did seem to actually feel sorry. Clifford Boggess claimed he would be a functioning member of society. He was a painter. How would being a painter change what he did when he killed his victims. I feel as though if he was let go he could go back to his criminal ways. Another reason Clifford Boggess should have been put to death was because he did not feel sorry for the victims family at all. When he wrote the letter to one of his victim's granddaughter he was preaching to her. This would make me feel very uncomfortable and I would not feel comfortable with this person not dying. It seems as though the victims families can not live a normal life knowing that this man is alive still making decisions. I completely agreed with what the granddaughter said. Clifford Boggess chose the day he died and my grandfather did not. Clifford Boggess was allowed to make decisions whereas his victims lives were brutally ended. Clifford Boggess is a cold hearted criminal and it seems as though he will always stay cold hearted. He feels little remorse and seems to not care for others feelings. He is not able to change. He didn't just kill the first man by pulling a trigger. He beat him and slit his throat. He did all of this with his hands and he was bragging about it. At the time of the first murder Clifford Boggess was on top of the world. Any man who can do that and not feel sorry about it is insane. There is no changing a man like him.
Even if Boggess was taken off of death row and put into prison for life he would still not be a functioning member of society. He would continue doing his artwork and preaching to his victims families. This is not fair to the families of the two victims. His death did bring them the justice they deserved. There was nothing more that could have happened. They got everything that could have possibly happened. Clifford Boggess was killed and that's that. There is nothing more they could ask for. As bad as it sounds, they wont get their family members back.
