WTF do you think we have judges for? In your line of thinking, once a jury finds a subject guilty, they should just hit the enter button on their laptop to spit out the sentence instead of having a judge do it.
We have judges to weigh the circumstance of the crime. You don't give a public servant, who put their life on the line everyday to protect the public, the same sentence as you do with a drug dealer who killed somebody over a bad dope deal, that had a criminal history back to their juvenile days.
Accidents happen all the time. But an accident is not intentional. A judge understands that. The judge also understands that a police officer has a long list of enemies because of the nature of a police officers job. A badge only gives you so much protection against a bullet. That's why most police officers carry off duty.
She made a deadly mistake, and she's paying for it with ten years of her life, plus having to live with the guilt of killing an innocent man until she dies herself. That's why we have judges.
The OP says Murderers should be executed.
She was convicted of murder.
You should debate the OP when she lands on a position.
I think we all know what he means by that......well.....at least those of us on the right do.
Well...what does the OP mean? ‘ Murderers should be executed’ is what she said....
I think we all know he meant cold blooded murderers, not people that shot somebody by accident. Besides, her crime fits manslaughter more than murder. The charge was actually bogus to begin with. The judge realized that.
Shooting a man in his own home and not performing CPR. Pretty cold blooded.
And you want to call it manslaughter?
Manslaughter is a non-intentional homicide. If I get in a fight at a bar, and I accidentally killed the guy, that's manslaughter. I had no intent to kill him.
