In all these years of watching I can't even begin to estimate the number of times defendants have taken a plea bargain of life in prison to avoid the death penalty. Can you imagine if we didn't have this bargaining chip how many criminals would be back on the streets. How much our courts would be clogged with hundreds of more trials every year, capital trial which take up much more manpower and money.
As as far the those who don't like the death penalty and think it's barbaric. I only wish you and those like you thought as much about the victims as you do about the criminals. The loss forever of the loved ones and the pain and suffering by their family and friends by this slime doesn't deserve a second of empathy.

I have been fighting for survivors/victims of crimes for 26 years trying to get them access to more practical materials in libraries so that they can help themselves play the legal game. This is one though based on being logical, practical, and patient.
And no two victims/survivors I have communicated with since February 25, 1976 are the same. These people are all quite different in sensitivity, religion, education, political views, etc.
I try to help the victims/survivors speak for themselves. And I have talked to women and men who have lost sons, daughters, girlfriends, boyfriends, spouses, mothers, fathers, friends, etc.
