At 83, it makes me wonder why they even bothered.

They always do,and often women fall for them AFTER they are imprisoned. One of the great mysteries of the human race.

True story, this garbage lived about 1.5 miles from me when he was arrested.
Then, that another piece of human debris - the one that murdered Shannon Melendi - lived about the same distance in the opposite direction from my house.
To: BenLurkin
Exactly. Just make a loud noise as you’re walking past his cell and he’ll probably stroke out.

...who had been convicted of murder for the mail bombing death of a federal judge in 1989. This should have been done by 1995.

29 years?
I believe of course in due process. And believe in appeals and carefully carrying out legal appeals and processes.
But what happened that the whole process took decades???
Wasn’t Timothy McVeigh executed five or six years after the Oklahoma City bombing, in contrast to this case?
To: Blue House Sue
If they had not waited 29 years, he would have been executed in his mid-50s. Instead, taxpayers paid to keep him in prison for almost 30 years.
Those receiving death sentences for heinous crimes should be permitted no more than TWO appeals during a TWO year period after the sentence and, if appeals are denied, then executed.
