i'm talking about the one from just a couple days ago. i cannot imagine someone doing such a thing.
at any rate, you can always find people who didn't get the sentence they should have-that won't change my mind about whether we should have a death penalty. you can name sick bastards all you want-it doesn't matter.
but the lady a couple days ago-when the initial story came out, she claimed to have run off the road into a lake, and couldn't get her two boys out. i skimmed over the first couple lines of the article and told my husband she killed them. sure enough, she confessed. strangled them at home, and then put them in the car.

Lemak was a NURSE and killed her kids admittedly beause she wanted to get back at her husband, a Dr. Doesn't get much worse than that and this woman is not being punished IMO

the stories you cited are why i can't understand why so many get so much time in jail for drug crimes, white collar crimes, non-violent crimes, while violent criminals are let loose too soon, with jail crowding cited as the reason.

at least in Il there is no one doing huge time for non-violent drug crimes. I believe I read somewhere the average time one serves for a murder concivtion in IL is in the neighborhood of 18 years. When a Judge gives someone 30 years he knows he will be out in 15.

I suspect you are talking about the Federal system.

I think we should rehabilitate the murderers and then let them out of jail after a year or two.

That's a great proposition...how will that be accomplished?

Did you think I was serious? I don't think even the biggest liberals (like Riot) would be in favor of letting murderers out of jail after a year or two.

You're right, all executions should be done in a year or two.

What if they were never habilitaed in the first place?




Don't you think most have a genetic defect and have no habilitates?
