If the death penalty were carried out for persons convicted of murder, many persons would rethink taking a life.
Marissa Cyrus, the aunt of slain Malachi Cyrus expressed this opinion during an interview with SEARCHLIGHT on Monday while speaking about the death of her nephew.
“I think if it (death penalty) is implemented a lot of people would reconsider their actions and think before they do certain things and try to do things differently, because they would know the consequences of their actions,” a grieving Marissa told SEARCHLIGHT while staring at the area in Largo Height where her nephew was shot and killed at about 8 pm on Saturday, December 5.
