On the question of federal involvement in the case, protecting life is one special situation in which the federal government must intervene if the local process fails.

Should helmet and seat belt laws be federalized? I mean, why not, the FDA protects terminally ill patients from ingesting medications that haven't met a rigorous testing regimen. Individual and family issues are much too important to be made by those individuals or families that are making them, right?

We’re talking about murder, not seat belts.
