Yes. Twenty years in prison for murder is an outrage. One of the worst things that has happened in this age is how we’ve begun to treat capital crimes like ordinary ones... that is going to come back to bite us. We need to go back to strict death penalty for 1st degree murder and for aggravated rape. People who commit those crimes don’t deserve a second chance and shouldn’t get it.

He had 11 priors, but nobody saw in him a man ready to go
out of control and kill.

I know there are some problems with the three strikes
system, but this is not the answer to that.

Career criminals need to be taken off the street. It’s
that simple.

“We need to go back to strict death penalty for 1st degree murder and for aggravated rape.”

The one objection I can think of is that if you make aggravated rape automatically a capital offense, then you create an incentive for rapists to just kill their victims as a matter of course. They’d face no worse penalty for doing it, and they eliminate the key witness.

The person responsible for this miscarriage of justice is “Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melinda_Katz

Perhaps another George Soros funded DA?

Regardless, she’s a POS in my book an the people of Queens get what they vote for.

No Queens, NY is responsible for electing two colossal human turds to public office:

First, AOC and now Melinda Katz.
