While I can appreciate some of the arguments made in his favor and Manson’s groupie because of her good behavior and apparent change of heart as well as the often light sentences of some by contrast, there still needs to be consequences that fit the particular heinous degree of certain crimes, in my opinion.
I agree with the argument re degree of heinousness. She and the rest of them really should have been executed. I don’t think that many of the people who make the argument about life sentences being harsher, are being honest. That evil pos Dennis Rader will never get out prison, if he lived to be 400-but he’s glad to still be alive, even having served a lot of it in solitary confinement. He can still watch tv, get and send letters, read books, etc. For all anyone knows, that evil scum still sits and relishes the pain and agony and degradation he visited upon innocent people, including children. He should have been dead, with just enough time to ponder his execution and erasement from history a little.
