“The last capital execution took place on Jan. 17, 2006.”
“Only 13 executions have been carried out since 1978, when the death penalty was reinstated in California.”
I got to know an incredible, man who was a psychiatrist, in 1977. He served as a pysch in the trials and sentencing of many horrible California killers.
He warned us, when California reinstated the death penalty, a killer on death row for any lawyer or law firm was like winning a multi million $ life time lottery until the killer died of natural causes decades later.
He probably under estimated the actual costs.
These 700 + killers have cost us as taxpayers millions of $’s in lawyer fees each year and zero justice.
Our liberal judges allowed the attorneys to pull all sorts of nonsense.
Most of those cases should have been shut down.
Some of the defenses were in real terms simply an attack on the judicial system, nothing more than contempt of court.
Judges don’t do it very often, but >IMO< you start jailing defense attorneys who are abusing the system.
Until we get serious about that, these ambulance chasers will rule the roost.
They have Charles Ng on videotape doing his thing.
Zero justice.
Law-abiding California citizens are going to have to start doing to their politicians what unpopular officers got in the 'Nam.
