I thought I had heard something about the lie detector test too, but I couldn't remember if his confession was while he was connected to the lie detector, and if so, if the confession was in repsonse to a question such that they could determine if he was lying. If a lie detector specialist could say that he was pretty darn sure that this guy committed the crime based upon the lie detector and we could find one additional piece of evidence linking him to the crime, then I would be all for instant death. My only reservation with execution solely off the lie detector confession is that lie detectors are sometimes wrong, albeit a small percentage of the time. Then again, this guy doesn't look like he has much to offer society anyway, so it wouldn't be a great loss.
