    My view upon death penalty before watching the video about Darryl hunt’s case, was strongly against it. I truly believe that we have no say in who is to take someone’s life.

I strongly believe that incarceration for the reminder of their life is in my view, the most extreme decision as a society to make in determining an individuals future.…

The famous and southern man, George Rodrigue, was born on March 13, 1944, in New Iberia, Louisiana. Rodrigue has been drawing since a child, in the famous Cajun country.
