You'll recall that Gacy was put to death in 94. I don't think capital punishment bothers a serial killer very much. I don't think it deters them, and I would guess it doesn't bother them to die as much as normal people either. For the amount of suffering that these killers have caused, there can be no real justice meted out. I guess that is a part of what makes these guys scary, there is no way to balance the books for what they have done. I am not even arguing against capital punishment, I am just saying it is inadequate as a means of justice.
Btw, I had a friend who grew up on Gacy's street in Chicago during the height of his killing spree. He actually played on his driveway while Gacy was an active killer, lol.
