Thomas Watch: More info on his folly

There is this article in the Republic about Thomas' death penalty obsession. There is not a lot new here, but it does go into how Maricopa county compares to other counties in death penalty cases. It also goes through some of the cases that Thomas sought the death penalty. This one stuck out:

For example, Thomas sought the death penalty against David Szymanski, who is accused of fleeing police and killing a motorist in April 2005. While Szymanski still faces a first-degree murder charge, the capital case fell apart when the defendant was acquitted of a related assault charge and Scottsdale police acknowledged that the police pursuit broke department policy.

I don't know about you, but this does not seem like a death penalty case. The guy should go to jail for a longtime for sure, but should tax payers spend $250,000 dollars to try to put him to death? Is his offense worth putting him to death? When I think of people worthy of the death penalty, I think of Jeffery Dalmer or the Baseline Rapist.
