When these men were tried, the only evidence allowed in, pertained to their guilt or innocence.
Stripping everything else out, they are guilty. There are no mitigating circumstances, they are guilty. Any other argument is just like what the Libs do. Was Clinton guilty? They said it was just about sex, remember? Is Sandy Burger guilty? Libs said he just used 'poor judgment', remember? The Rich pardon in exchange for money for Clinton's library? When does it end? If we start excusing people based on mitigating circumstances, we are no better than our enemies on the left.
BECAUSE THE PUNISHMENT ALL THINGS CONSIDERED DOES NOT FIT THE CRIME. THEY LET A MAJOR DOPE SMUGLER GO SCOTT FREE OVER A SHOT IN THE SEATER.
