1)Rodney James Alcala was sentenced to the death penalty in March of 2010. The photographer, once appeared on a game show in the 70’s called the ‘Dating Game’, was convicted of murdering four LA girls in February. In the courtroom Alcala asked for the jury to spare him, "you become a wannabe killer in waiting;” The Samsoe family had to make a decision whether or not to sentence him to death penalty. This would have been his third count. Robin Samsoe decided yes, to the death penalty.

2)The author Paloma Esquivel’s point of view on this article is that it seems like she is for the death penalty. Although she is just stating facts, from the previous counts. She never really states whether or not she’s for it.

3) I personally think he can serve his time of life in prison without the death penalty.
