You know I used to work for a vendor who sold a software package to pharmacies. I asked why the tools look as dated as they do. The response was that they were originally developed and got HIPPA certified during the DOS era. Since they would have to get re-certified to update the interface, it's just much cheaper to keep intermittently fixing the original code.

Actually, all the talk of capital punishment is a bit misdirected in one sense. Capital punishment makes sense in cases where the individual is a proven threat to society while alive. Charles Manson comes to mind. But in this context, it should be remembered that life can be way worse than death. Take the kids that suffered at the hands of these two, for instance. They may well have to go through life with a criminal record, and the trauma of going to juvenile hall. Basically these were normal teenagers put into the pen with actual degenerates, and that is going to have some serious psychological effects on them. So no, killing these two is just a bad idea. They have been removed from power, so they pose little further threat to society. I say let them live the life they set for the kids they wrongly convicted. Convict them of the charges, send them to prison, sue them so they no longer have access to wealth, and if they make it out of prison alive make sure they are destitute enough that they have to seek a menial job to make it week by week, and all the while they have the convictions on their record. Again, living can truly be worse than dying.
