so once again what is everyone else's opinions on the subject

I personally do not support the death penalty (and not just because I am African-American. But because I do not think it deters crime) but WIlliams should be held responsible for the crimes he was found guilty of no matter how much he reformed. He may have changed but his four victims will never get to grow (or even fail) as people and for that he should still be punished for his crime.
