You’re not weird, but you really don’t belong in a country of laws and due process.

There are other nations where due process is quickly shortened, unfortunately, it is usually at the whims of a all-controlling dictator, but you can’t have everything, right?

In cases such as these where the evidence agrees with a confession, how much "due process" does it take to saitisfy you?

As for me, I'm all for laws and due process. What I'm not for is the bastardization of those laws and due process to the point where clear-cut cases of pre-meditated murder are allowed to escape or delay justice and avoid (again) *righteous* retribution because our society has grown squishy --and/or-- because we have allowed lawyers to pervert those laws and due-process to years-long, drawn-out legal mazes that (lucky for them) also serve to drive the law firm's revenue stream long and high.

Having said that, I'll entertain your point of view -- Other than an emotional appeal, go ahead and describe some circumstance or mitigating factor that should delay, lessen or avoid the lawful, righteous consequences for a mother who admitted to the pre-meditated strangling murder of her newborn baby and her subsequent disposal of the body by tossing it in the trash. Especially considering the resources (both private and government based) that are available to the mother in this day and age.

I'm all ears.

Or perhaps you might consider that assuming someone "really don’t belong in a country of laws and due process" based on a single comment in some small corner of the internet -- is itself more than just a bit hypocritical. Just sayin'...
