Democratic, life without parole.

You can reverse a life sentence if later evidence reveals a person's innocence. You cannot do the same with death.

ONLY time I'll EVER invoke slippery slope. If we make an exception for mass murderers, what's stopping us from hanging people who committed other crimes and should have gotten life without parole.

The only exception to my strong opposition to the death penalty is that I'm glad Bin Laden was killed.
