That's why I said there should be some different circumstances when there IS some reasonable doubt. In this case, there's not.

The more time passes and the further we get from the crime, the less horrific it will seem and the more what he did will seem "not as big a deal" to some people. The more easily they'll forget that it was totally premeditated and meticulously executed without remorse. The more easily some will be fooled into believing his bullsh*t "insane" defense. They'll let doubt creep in, and then sympathy, and then you can just go ahead and forget about justice. They'll figure 20 years with good behavior is penance enough, and one day he'll see daylight again.

No. There is absolutely no reasonable doubt in this case and no reason to drag it out one second longer than necessary.

Sad thing is I can gauge this whole time line with my kid. We first heard the news when we were in the hospital for his delivery. Sad it's been almost 2 and a half years and only NOW he's going to trial. Should probably have been tried, convicted, and executed by now....

Yeah, I think people should die the way they killed their victims. It seems more fitting to met than lethal injection or anything else they come up with. You drown somebody, you should be drowned. You shot somebody, you should be shot too. You killed someone while driving drunk and hit them, you should be run over with a car yourself. That's the way it should be done, but it never will be.

And I watch Beyond Scared Straight on A&E all of the time. It's amazing how these prisoners really don't care about what they did or they regret their actions but it's too late because they have life sentences and can't get out. I love how they reach out to the kids and let them know that this isn't the life they want for themselves and they'd better change.
