Where's Pam Bondi asking for the Death Penalty?
Don’t you mean Todd Blanche?
Bondi is probably vacationing in a pile of corruption cash right now.
Still can't get over the fact that the acting attorney general AND the Deputy Attorney general AND the Librarian of Congress is just one sleazy personal lawyer named Todd 🤦🏻
Minnesota doesn't have a death penalty. Unless he's brought up under the right federal charges we'll be paying for this piece of excrement to rot in prison.
Due to the mandatory appeals, additional court time, and increased cost of death row incarceration during the trial, life in prison is usually less expensive for the tax payer than the death penalty.
I know, still I hate we're wasting money on them.
As someone who's anti death penalty for any case, I'd prefer we waste money on incarcerating people if we must, rather than risk killing the wrong person. People have made entire careers out of justifying why an (usually) innocent person has to die, using a lot of junk science (bite mark, hair, thread analysis, a lot of CSI stuff is absolute bullshit or at least no better than 50/50).
The death penalty is nothing more than "mob justice" if you ask me. I still think pedophiles like some of our politicians should get the guillotine because they make me sick, but hell even a murderer I wouldn't want death penalty for.
There's only a niche case I'd be for it, someone like a Timothy McVeigh. Now if we have rehabilitation instead of punishment prisons.
Still the same thing. While you may rightly claim mass murder/terrorism is worse than singular murder, the same logic applies. Why should we waste time and process on this vile person, and what if we made a mistake?
Have the death penalty, but only if the lead prosecutor goes down with them and can only ever be involved in one at a time (ie they can do another if the one is appealed and stopped). Prosecutor doesn't have to be in jail while they wait, but their lives end simultaneously and under identical conditions.
Regardless of what this case is about, I think it's wrong to offer plea deals that negotiate the sentence below the death penalty.
Even if I'm 100% innocent, I'm gonna take the plea deal instead of risking my life in court.
If there are crimes so serious that they warrant the death penalty, there should be a trial. And if we're okay with letting this person live, why did we consider taking their life in the first place? It's a very coercive way to do "justice". Admit to the crime or else we might kill you.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't think I would valueblife without parole over a death sentence
If your remaining life is going to be nothing but prison, why does it matter if it's a couple years or couple decades?
That an argument against plea deals in general. Prosecutors regularly throw more extreme charges into the mix to scare defendants into taking a plea. Whether the choice is death or life in prison or 10 vs 3 years, the underlying corruption of the defendant's decision making is still there.
Plea deals should only exist to implicate other perpetrators in a larger conspiracy.
Plea deals are disturbingly common, too. Like 90+% of serious crimes. Prosecutors seem scared to actually do their jobs.
Because with the amount of people that get arrested, they know the entire system would grind to a halt if everyone actually had the means to take their case to court.
All drugs should be legal and regulated.
It's not so much that they're scared.
It's more that they've found the "high conviction rate regardless of guilt and therefore easy reelection and campaign donations" cheat code.
And that they haven't been stopped from using it to pervert the "justice" system beyond any semblance of fairness or, well, justice.
How much you wanna bet he's getting some of that $1.776B terrorism fund after SCROTUS allows it
So I guess this "man" must be white because political motivated murder is a shoe in for terrorism charges
It's not that he's white, it's that he did it for the right team.
It's both
Whiteness didn't help Mangione dodge terrorism charges.
Weren't Italians and Irish considered "dirty whites" back when "America was Great"?
You MUST understand he's a GOOD Person who had a BAD day!
-People who want to Give Luigi the DEATH Penalty!
Don’t do sloth dirty like that.
