If the concern is tax payer dollars, an execution costs about $10 million dollars (appeals, numerous trials, etc). Keeping him locked up for life will cost less than executing him. He may be "competent" to stand trial, but it is obvious that he was not sane when he committed these acts. This man is not getting a 'pass' from responsibility- hence he will spend the rest of his life in a box. Executing an insane man is inhumane. Let us be better than him. And, for the greater good, think of how much we can learn from this man in terms of mental health treatment and preventing someone else from this kind of act.
