It is time for the wheels of justice to turn
I know he will not get the death penalty but a very long stay in jail is in order if in fact he did the crime. If they ever let him out it will be like a degree in how to be a criminal after being raised by the penal system so he should get life if found guilty. Our tax dollars at work.

As far as the death penalty not being an effective deterrent, I strongly disagree. A good example to the contrary was the lawless state of Romania during the early 1400s. Crime was common in broad daylight and on crowded streets.
When Prince Vlad Dracula (namesake of the mythical vampire Dracula) came into power in 1448 all crimes greatly decreased and turned Romania into a civilized country. Vlad had a fascination with public executions by impaling the condemned onto wooden stakes and left as an example to the rest of the public. He was cruel and ruthless, but his actions led to the independence of his country and he is seen as a national hero today by the Romanians. |
If I was his lawyer I would go for an insanity plea and claim that he was driven to homicide by the stress of living with a ball sack on the side of his head.

No, they didn't. |

"us[ing] severe methods to restore some order" is not the same thing as "deterred crime with the death penalty." He also executed thousands of people for no reason or for his own political gain, wrote new laws, and replaced most of the government.
