I assume it generaly takes longer in the U.S., to go from crime to the electric chair/gallows. But thats probably because Americas jails are jammed full of death row candidates, and there is a long waiting list.
Mass serial killers or even murderers are relatively rare in Korea, I think. |
Since there hasn't been an execution in Korea since before Kim Dae Jung was president, I don't think it's accurate to say it takes longer in the U.S. |
That shows how rare murder is in this country:) |

I don't have the statistics at my fingertips but the ones that I saw in the past don't back up your point. They were rather comparable to many western nations. |

Hey Zed 
I think I read that they are comparable as well, although slightly lower in Korea.
Someone who knows more about this than me will hopefully back me up or correct me -- but I believe that although capital punishment is officially legal in Korea, it is currently not being practised at least partly due to pressure from Amnesty International, as well as Korea's own history with the death penalty (it being used against political enemies -- as well as Japan's use of captital punishment on Koreans during the occupation).
When the killer mentioned in the OP was first arrested there was speculation on whether or not he will actually be executed, since he is a serial killer or whether he would wait in death row like so many others.
Because of my own beliefs, I'll be disappointed if they go ahead and put him to death. However, I won't be too surprised. |

He was supposed to have killed mostly massage parlor women and old rich ladies. He was apparently married to a massage parlor girl, so he took out his bitterness on them.
He also didn't show any remorse when he recieved his sentence. From what I gather he confessed and showed the police the rest of his grissly killings.
I sure as hell wish he didn't have to wear that frigging mouth mask or whatever it's called. Why are they worried about the shame he will bring to the rest of his family |

| Feel like they're taking him out back and stringing him up from a tree it's that quick. |

Wait -- he was only sentenced to death -- he hasn't been executed or been given a date of execution, has he? |

| He's got one week to appeal the sentence. Probably means cased closed, get the job over and done with. I mean if there is no more appeals what is the point in living any longer? |

There may not be any point to living any longer (philosophical question, that), but executions are not being carried out in Korea right now. He will join the ranks of many others on death row who have not been put to death and do not have a date of execution. Unless you have other information that I don't. But if they do have a date for his execution, that in itself will be rather big news -- much bigger than the sentence itself. |
