i think that many people believe that when a murder is committed, society is infected and until that murderer is caught and tried, it will continue to be infected (like ancient greek dramas)
So, Should she have been executed??
I really don't know. obviously, it would have been better to study her and try and prevent history repeating itself but a part of me wanted her blood. she had no mercy for the men she killed so should we have had mercy for her??
I am a firm believer in what goes around comes around, and it came after her. -

If only she lived in Canada, she wouldn't have to worry about death penalty. Just life in prisonment forever. I dunno which one she would perfer, death or life inprisonment, but really makes no difference. Your freedom is gone either way.

In the documentary about her, she seemed to have delusions (false beliefs that someone "knows" is true) with paranoia. She said that she felt that the cops knew that she was killing but let it go on. And when she was talking to the journalist in the documentary, she was whispering or said that she 'couldn't say what she really thought' cause of some kind of paranoid reason. I actually feel bad that she got executed. I mean, of course, by all means, someone like that should be locked up for their natural born life either in prison or state psychiatric facility but I don't believe that she should've necessarily been executed with her seeming so impaired.

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
She shouldnt have been killed. There is no question. There is no such thing as a system, which can accurately determine the guilty from the innocent - you o2000nly have to walk about 5 inches through that civil rights museum and you can see what the system does to people who are poor, to people who are not the right colour, at the right place, at the right time.
I personally happen to think murder is murder, whether its done by a government or not - perhaps worse if committed by a government - y'know, if you're poor, and you're strung out on something, and you never had beep all your life, and you're really beep pissed off, and you're pulling that trigger making the worst decisions you ever made - thats one thing - but when you're sitting in your fancy office, with your cup of coffee, signing peoples lives away..
its really sick.. -

you need to look at the situation without passion, she should not have been killed, noone will ever know the full story of the victims, do you know that her first victim was incarcerated for sexual assault before??? many people believe he raped her and set her on the path to the death chamber
you have to look at her life and try to discover why she did the things she did. obviously the men didn't deserve to die but its not as black and white as people make it out to be. and there is no need for cursing!

Why did she deserve to die? now she is dead she doesnt have to wake up every morning knowing she killed those men. death is the ultimate release for her. i believe she should have been studied to see what made her kill these men a111cnd to help detect the problem in many other people in years to come. there was something wrong with her and she was just killed without anyone trying to help her. she had an extremely tough upbringing involving all sorts of abuse.i truly feel sorry for her, she wasnt given the breaks people like us have been given. if you grewup in a house like she did, you may have turned out the exact same way, would you have honestly wanted to be executed??
just think for a second before you answer with another angry post condemning aileen wuornos to hell.

To be fair, from all of the posts I have read of yours on the boards, you would prefer ALL women to be killed in horrible ways. You seem to live your life by hate. A kind of hate that could possibly turn YOU into a murderer.

White bitch? Plenty of hideous black killers about! Doubt the ones she killed were entirely innocent either. It was witheld from the trial that the first 'victim' (Mallory) had previously received a sentence for rape.
