Meanwhile, back at the ranch

Ohio lethally injected a self-proclaimed murdering prophet for the crime of killing a family of five, whom he found naughty in his eyes. He claimed to have heard God's voice and was directed to kill the family. Well, in stark opposition, in accordance with the law, the physician did not hear a call to stop or delay the exectution and did fulfill the state's obligation to execute this man.

Although I didn't see the evidence, I would suggest that a leader of an organization, herein a cult (based on his proclaimation that he was "more than a prophet"), he could very well lead others into more crime had he had access to them. This is clearly a good example of the type of person to execute. It was retalitory, but a tool to protect soceity from murderers, either in their own right or by conducting or eliciting other to do it. Think Koresh, Manson, et. al.
