Needed Killing?
2010-01-31
Prison inmate Ricky Silva thinks the death penalty is too severe a punishment for strangling his cellmate with a shoestring. In fact, he's proud of what he did. And he wants you to be proud of him, too.

"It's not like I killed an innocent citizen or somebody who was undeserving," said Silva, 29, of Terry Bell's Oct. 14 homicide at the Martin Correctional Institution, where both men were serving life prison terms.

"Under my belief system, there's still some people in the world that need killing and he was one of them," he said. "I don't believe I should pay for killing somebody that needed to be killed."
