With that in mind: It was, like, totally wrong to want to sentence the Fab Foursome to death. Theirs is a good example of how the death penalty can be abused, and so provides an argument against capital punishment in general. I think, like, that, um, the author (whose name I forget atm; AFB) was trying to make a serious case against the death penalty there. In fact, I declare it to be the case. Cheers, Shawn
