I for one think that in this case justice was or should I say will be served. Although taking his life surely won't bring back his wife and unborn son, the man has no remorse either. All I have seen him do was have that little smirk about him. The only thing I wish is that he could suffer worse than what lacey did. No gas chamber, electric chair, or lethal injection will make him suffer the way i feel he should. I'm interested to know your thoughts on this.
Putting people to death always sounds a bit harsh, but really; what else are you going to do with him? Let him off, give him a long prison sentence? I've always thought the death sentence was a bit too personal, myself; it seems more like a kind of revenge; far more spiteful than simply just. I wish there were a better way, though. Although, in a way it is rather just; he had no remorse for his pregnant wife; and therefore the authorities have no remorse for him.
I agree that justice will be served. Sentencing him to death should hopefully deter many others from murdering their spouses or unborn children. And for those that are not deterred and commit those crimes, execute them.

Also, if it makes you feel better; the electric chair is an incredibly excruciating torment.
Allen Davis also murdered a pregnant woman; and his fate was certaintly not a painless one:
"Florida Execution of 350-pound Inmate Turns Bloody," by Lesley Clark. (July 8, 1999 Miami Herald)
"Blood poured from the chest and mouth of convicted killer Allen Lee Davis as he was electrocuted early Thursday in Florida's first use of its new electric chair. Davis let out two muffled screams from behind a chin mask after four guards strapped him into the electric chair. As the 2,300 volts of electricity began to surge through the metal cap on his head, Davis jerked back against the oak chair, his fists clenched."
"A tiny trickle of blood began to stain his white long-sleeved dress shirt as witnesses watching the execution behind glass gasped in horror. Corrections officers in the death chamber looked at each other in alarm, their eyes wide. None of them moved, but watched as the blood thickened. The blood continued to seep, leaking through the buckle holes in the thick leather restraints. It created a stain 6 to 8 inches in diameter across Davis' chest, from below his breastbone to nearly the top of his dark blue dress pants and black belt. A small spot of blood was visible under his right collar and when doctors lifted up the death mask to check his eyelids, his mouth appeared to be bleeding."
"The black-hooded executioner flipped the switch at 7:05 and power was shut off at 7:07, corrections officials said. Davis' chest convulsed at least twice before two prison medical officials declared him dead at 7:15 a.m. Davis, 54, who had to be wheeled into the death chamber because he has trouble walking, was sentenced to die for the 1982 beating and shooting deaths of Nancy Weiler and her two young daughters during an attempted burglary at Weiler's Jacksonville home. Davis, at 350 pounds, was one of several large inmates whom prison officials considered last year when they replaced Florida's infamous 76-year-old electric chair known as "Ol' Sparky'' with a near-replica that has been tested to withstand heftier inmates."
"Cory Tilley, spokesman for Gov. Jeb Bush, said: ''We are absolutely, 100 percent comfortable that the chair performed flawlessly as it was designed to perform. . . . Everybody's getting all worked up about a nosebleed.''
Maybe karma getting a few licks in before he went to hell?
Fireing squad& hanging would be fine by me too & letting any family survivors have a hour with the condemed alone to do as they wish.

I agree he should meet his maker, but I think murderers in general deserve something more cruel and unusual. Like the Comanches do to some of those people in westerns. Stake him in the desert with wet rawhide. Let him set there and think about what he did as he cooks and stretches in the sun.
