I’d make it my mission in life to get to every member of the prosecution that offered this travesty of a deal.
They’d be looking over their shoulders for the rest of their lives.
Which wouldn’t be very long.

I actually find sadness as so many people one by one cross over to my ways of thinking.
I have been a bitter opponent of the system of justice since something very bad that happened to me in 1967. I’ve thought about revealing it in my FR bio but let’s just say I am still bitter although I escaped the worst.
We have to hope and wish for a prisoner to bring justice.
That’s a huge burden for them, many of whom are not in prison for life.
Those prosecutors should be in the cell next to this murderous piece of crap.
It’s easy to second-guess the DA. Yes, most normal people believe this guy should get the chair. But the reality is that this plea agreement guarantees that this monster’s fate is sealed, with no further appeals. A death penalty prosecution would have meant that this guy’s death—if 12 people unanimously agreed to that sentence—would occur 20 years from now, with endless court hearing, appeals, etc. Also, these smaller DA’s offices don’t have the staffing/funding to handle death penalty cases. I pray for families, and hope that someone shivs this guy in the back as soon as he hits the state prison.

Congratulations to the prosecution for getting this monster behind bars with no appeal. It was very gratifying to hear him say guilty.
They should be made to answer the question “how much money did the government save themselves by not pursuing the death sentence”? As one who has lived through this scenario take it from me, the only way the victim’s families will ever be able to put this tragedy behind them is by implementing the death penalty. Because as long as the perp is alive you must worry that someone will come along and try to get him out someday. For me, knowing that he was executed for his crimes allows the families to say to themselves that “all that could be done, has been done”.
