Bruce Ivins had been suspected of being a part of the 2001 anthrax attacks. He had been barred from the most dangerous agents and then had lost all access to labs after spilling milliliters on his pants and going home to wash them without informing any of his supervisors. He then committed suicide in July as federal authorities prepared to charge him with mailing anthrax letters, hat killed 5 people and sickened 17 others in 2001. DO you think he deserved the death he got or would he have been better off stuck in jail living with what he had done?
I don't believe in the death penalty. However, it wasn't the governments decision that he commit suicide. I think life in prison without possibility of parole is a much more effective form of punishment than an injection on an area that has been numbed so the injection itself won't hurt.
He chose the death he got, so you can't really debate if he got what he deserved, especially if it isn't even known if he actually did it. What if he was actually innocent?
i guess we don't have to worry about what should have happened though because he isn't here, and there is no proof he did it. he is dead. too late for anything to be done now
i think he should have gotten the death pentaly, because he killed 5 people and sicken 17 other. really what does it take for some one to get the death pentaly? i guess he wanted death.
wellll i cant really make a judgement on if he should have been sentenced to life in prison or not because nothing was proven right? innocent until proven guilty
however it does make it seem like he wasnt exactly innocent if he killed himself out of guilt
bad times

Agreed with Patrick. Innocent until proven guilty. Its unfair to say he deserved to die. There is no proof, just a theory. A debate on the death penalty would make more sense since its all circumstancial.
Uhh he wasn't even convicted, so i don't really understand. About this death penalty issue everyone is talking about..I believe a life in jail is a better punishment.
Or perhaps it's another case of the Rosenburg's? At that time, it was the communist scare during the Age of McCarthyism and now it's the the fear of terrorism during the War in Iraq.
The parallel i am trying to make here is that perhaps, Like Ethel Rosenburg, he was innocent but still died....
ehhh nevermind.
