Well, just consider this as an extention of your logic - say he wants to go to jail for his crime, or simply wants to be punished. Do we not give him what he wants and let him off free, or do we send him to jail anyways?

Well, Im sure most people would rather be set free, and that is not an option. Obviously, if someone would rather go to jail, and that's what the law says, the law should be abided. But we shouldnt put someone to death just because that's what they want.

Well, yeah, but at the same time his crime is one that would normally be applicable for death penalty sentencing. Personally, I think the justice system just needs to ignore what the criminal wants unless they think he wants that to commit some other crime again - simply go with the suitable punishment and be done with it.

They should ignore what he wants, and do whatever the legal system applies in this case, although I'm pretty much against the death penalty as is, except for maybe war criminals.

Well, I'd say that by the law this is certainly something that would have the death penalty as an option.

As long as it's not his option
