I was always and remain amazed he wasn't taken care of long ago.

Yeah, it would seem so but the cost of putting someone to death in this country is also exceedingly expensive. Not sure in Chuckles case because he was incarcerated so long, it may have been less expensive to execute him back in in the olden' days but even then, it took years and cost well into seven digits to execute someone.
Personally, I really do not have an opinion on capital punishment either way; by the time we execute someone in this country, at least these days, those persons have almost always more than 'earned' it IMO and as far as I know, and he / she is beyond rehabilitation in any stretch of the imagination.
The two points that capital punishment hinges on, IMO are 1) that person will never, ever commit a crime or cause any type of damage again. That is a good thing IMO. But it must be balanced against at least the concern that someone may, and has been in the past, executed erroneously, and that punishment can never, ever be un- done or ended.
But anyway, I was a kid for the Manson family murders, trial and sentencing and in an odd way, this ends a particularly poor spotlight of human behavior and possibilities regarding excess. Well, almost ended, some of his 'family' are still alive and incarcerated. But they too are old and soon enough will not be a concern to anyone either.
As a newspaper printed after the four people tried and found guilty of killing Abraham Lincoln, 'We want to know their names no more.'. I think that is a perfect thought for this day as well.

Mayhaps he and Ted Bundy can have a little one-on-one time now in the place where they have gone.
Rest Not in Peace.

Yeah, maybe than can take turns kill and eat each other over and over and over again. No, wait... that might be heaven? Hmm
