Please read my mind and tell me what I am thinking.


First life without parole only exist for a very few. Even those that have been on death row have been let out of prison after awile.

But a better question for you, if there is no difference between armed robbery and murder, why do robber leave their victims alive? They are more likely to be caught and convicted if there are witnesses.

"First life without parole only exist for a very few. Even those that have been on death row have been let out of prison after awhile."

In the State of Washington the courts decided that only Juries can hand down a sentence. So - now killers are being set FREE in numerous cases where the Judge handed down the sentence. Martin Pang (arsonist, 4 firefighters died) accepted the judge's plea deal of 40 years or something (to avoid life). Now is trying to get out. Others have already been RELEASED. Not sure why they don't just go through the resentencing phase.

Because most people simply are not killers.
