Aren't you just dying to see Ken Lay and all the other Enron execs subjected to medieval torture? I doubt it.

Why should I be? What does that have to do with the subject at hand, which is a man breaks into the home of a elderly lady, assaults her and steals her TV.

If he is let out can he move in with your granny?

In post #37 the State is said to have stipulated that they couldn't even prove that the house was occupied at the time of the crime, let alone that the woman was assaulted....yet here you are trying to present the assault as a fact. What am I to think of your judgement?

The subject at hand is not the nature of this particular crime but whether the punishment fit it...and an important factor in making that judgement is comparing this punishment with that meted out to other criminals.

It offends me deeply to hear that some low-life is given life because he stole a TV from a house which may have been occupied while so-called good citizens can steal millions of dollars and destroy the jobs and pensions of thousands and receive a much lesser punishment. That you can't even see the relationship tells me that I prefer not to share the planet with you.
