In the article “Second Thought Of A ‘Hanging Judge’” David McCartin says “Rodney James Alcala, whom I sentenced to die more than 30 years ago… was again just sentenced last year for [5 more killings]” unfortunately since judge McCartin already sentence Alcala to death more than 30 years ago, the newly found victims families did not get to see Rodney get his justice.The death penalty cost these families their rights to find out who killed their victims, why they did it and see them be punished for it.
