ONE LESS CRIMINAL ON THE STREETS

I AM WRITING in regard to the Jan. 10 column by Cody Lowe concerning the hanging of the murderer/rapist in Washington.

We may not know if capital punishment is a deterrent to other criminals committing crimes, but one thing we do know is that this criminal will not rape and murder again. VAUGHN CASSELL WYTHEVILLE
