99. The father of one of my friends was on it.

Like you, like Warpy, my thoughts are:

1) I'm still shaken and sad about the deaths

2) It's nothing in my life one way or another if he goes through his final days of terminal illness at home or in jail. I can't figure out what good it serves the world by making him die there. I can see what good it does the world that the people in a position to make the decision chose compassion over what Americans would have chosen - which likely would have been the death penalty with much gloating, perhaps with gratuitous torture beforehand. I know which culture I admire more in that regard.
