Death for McVeigh

Re “McVeigh Fate Hinging On Files’ Value,” June 2: Did any one of the 168 children, women or men at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City receive the remotest chance of a stay of execution? If any of the thousands of boxes that represent material from their lives still exist, then there is certainly more than enough proof of their innocence.

Our country does not need to spend any more money or time on an effort to lighten Timothy McVeigh’s future. Would it be life in prison or just an extended dying process? Did this mass murderer ever consider whether any one person in the federal building should have life in freedom with the opportunity for a natural dying process? Pardon my bluntness, but my personal opinion is that we as the American people have a right to eliminate his gene code from the future human population without feeling any guilt that we have taken a person’s life.
