-—”...you have an opportunity to save lives...”-—
Yep - their you have it. The catch-all phrase that justifies every whim the nazi liberals have.
It also makes me cringe when ‘conservatives’ fall into the trap - “If it saves only one life...”; “Well, if you’re not doing anything wrong, you don’t have anything to worry about.”.
Here's a bigger opportunity to save lives. Most murderers have prior criminal records. When a jury has convicted somebody, if this is the third strike, then as a second stage of deliberations, give the jury the WHOLE criminal record, and have them vote as to whether it would be better for society to just have the guy executed. If they vote yes, the execution will be carried out immediately.
