Seems that would have been more appropriate and less costly than a lengthy trial and confinement!
“less costly than a lengthy trial and confinement!”
Thirty years on Death Row plus dozens off appeals-big bucks indeed...
If he turned himself in, can’t we assume the cops will have a confession? If so, there’d only be a trial on the punishment, although I believe killing a police officer is the auto death penalty.
I’m glad he didn’t die in a shootout, that would have been too quick. The story said he was ‘acting nervous’ when arrested .... let him learn what being nervous is, let him have to think about his victims and their families while he fights off the prison gangs.
