#1 his original sentence to face the gallows in front of the county courthouse was overturned. Dryman was given as life sentence instead.

Do they still do this in Montana? Seems like this would have a chilling effect on others who might be contemplating such crimes despite what the anti-capital punishment adherents spout.

#2 So his daughter says he was a pillar of the community. Did he ever express remorse for what he had done? Did he ever apologize the the family of his victim?
No? Then let him serve his sentence. He got an extra forty years of freedom, when he should have spent the rest of his life in prison - either a very short time before he was hanged, or a long time after his sentence was commuted.
