I don’t believe the state should have the ability to kill people for any reason, so I’m on the same page with you on that. However, Tyler demonstrably was going to attempt to get away with it and be non-compliant. It is only because things fell into place so perfectly that his compliance is basically guaranteed now. An extra few hours and he may have killed himself anyway. People who murder generally accept that their life is now also forfeit, or at least the life they knew. I don’t think the death penalty causes murderers to be non-compliant or unwilling to cooperate with authorities: they’re non-compliant because they’re killers.This is going to be unpopular, but while I'm in complete agreement about the motives, fault and severity of the issue as you guys, I'm generally against giving people the same penalty (e.g. the death penalty, the one thing that you can't go any more tiers up from) for complying with investigation, turning yourself in and admitting guilt, versus for doing their best to evade capture, needing to be caught, and fighting the charges all the way. I think if we treat them the same, it merely incentivizes people not to comply or help with investigations.
also this motherfucker unironically calls his SO "my love" in a text message lmao
Double also, to dissect the evidence a little bit, this dude has no idea what the fuck he's doing - he staged a dramatic way to communicate his intent to his SO with this stupid murder mystery note under the desk thing, while also telling his SO "I planned to take this secret to my grave" before had even been caught.
If what is shown so far is to be taken at face value, and Tyler really did leave a note about the murder, it would seem that Tyler never truly had any intention of keeping this a secret. Murderers often want recognition for their actions, especially so when the target and the event are so high-profile.
