If God wasn't sovereign over reaching the convicted murderer -- who, by the way, gets ~10 years of appeals in this country -- then He wasn't sovereign over the victim, either. That means the crime of murder is even worse than Sekulow et al imagine it is, because the murderer may have cost the victim his temporal life AND his eternal life.
