Life imprisonment without parole would be cheaper and more acceptable. Problem is there will never be any such thing.
Nope, I don’t agree. He would have a grand time. He would be able to enjoy his jailhouse meth and have all the sex he wants. This was the proper end, it just took too long to administer.
“Life imprisonment without parole would be cheaper and more acceptable.”
It wouldn’t be more acceptable to me. And the cost would go down if we got rid of the endless appeals process. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not entirely comfortable with the State having the power of death in its hands. I lived through the Nicarico debacle here in Illinois.
But the solution to the problem of unethical Prosecutors is swift and severe punishment when they do it. For that I would support life imprisonment. Actually using 18USC242 against corrupt government officials would be a damned good start.
