OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — Jurors recommended a death sentence Tuesday for the white supremacist who fatally shot three people at Jewish sites in Kansas last year.
The jury convicted 74-year-old Frazier Glenn Miller Jr. last week of capital murder for the April 2014 shootings. The judge overseeing the trial will now decide whether to follow the jury's sentencing recommendation.
Miller, who raised his arm in a Nazi salute after he was convicted, represented himself at the six-day trial. When presenting his defense, the Missouri man said prosecutors had "a slam dunk." He then told the jurors: "You guys are going to put me on death row. We all know that."
Miller admitted killing William Corporon, 69, and Corporon's 14-year-old grandson, Reat Griffin Underwood, at the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park. He also said he shot Terri LaManno, 53, shortly afterward at the nearby Village Shalom retirement center. None of the victims was Jewish.
In a rambling, hour-long closing argument earlier Tuesday, Miller touched on the media, white supremacism and his health. He concluded by telling the jury he didn't care what sentence they handed down.
"Frankly my dears, I don't give a damn," he said, and again raised his right arm in the Nazi salute.

A 74 yr old on death row is pretty stupid. His appeals will last until he's 135 or so.

As vile as he is, the death penalty is not the answer.
Life in prison, no parole, and make him watch Bette Midler movies daily.

I'm against the death penalty pretty much in all cases, so I say let him rot in prison. Preferably one of those SuperMax prisons where he only gets to see the sky overhead for one out of 24 hours.

I honestly think we don't use the death penalty enough. There are way too many appeals and the process needs to be sped up. There are some people that IMHO need to be culled from the heard and have done such terrible things, they need to be put down. If not just as a punishment, as justice for the families and victims that have suffered because of these vile creatures. I am actually rather pleased with the Utah legislature, they just re-instituted the firing squad as a backup method to lethal injection in case the drugs were unavailable.

Agree with Ganny on this one.

Put him in an enclosure with a pride of lions, a pistol and one bullet.

i used to be a hardcore fan of the death penalty but i evolved on it
i dont necessarily oppose it out of humanitarianism but mire because I know i would personally prefer the firing squad over life in prison

The gas chamber works for me.
Failing that, the UD locker room.

You might be onto something here. Do you think if we amassed 70 or so guys currently on Death Row and gave them the chance to suit up for UD..what happens?
1) They all hang themselves in their cells the night before?
2) They go out and do better than UD currently?
3) They go out and dominate FCS football and bring UD football back to the top?
4) They go out and somehow/someway play worse than UD?

Gladiator matches. Winner lives to fight another day. I think there might be a pay-per-view market for that.
