Golden State Killer will be spared the death penalty

[rayg]

Golden State Killer will be spared the death penalty if he pleads guilty to 13 murders and kidnappings in deal that calls for the ex-cop to admit up to 62 rapes

Joseph James DeAngelo worked as a police officer in the Central Valley town of Exeter from 1973 to 1976

Wonder how big the town was then and did he leave or was fired..Three years as a cop only.. Must be some reason only three years...wonder why..but the news really plays the police up.... Do you think there's some people in the news room that hate cops, wonder why..Lol

This is a guy whose mere presence on earth is an insult to the rest of us.

Given the glacial place at which executions are carried out in California-and elsewhere, his pleading guilty will save taxpayers money spent on appeals. Across the river in Pennsylvania, someone noted that the method of execution is-old age.

We're talking about two different things -- the death penalty in theory and the death penalty in practice.

In theory, the death penalty is needed. In practice the death penalty is worthless.

For some offenders-such as the Menendez brothers who reside in a California prison-Life Without Parole is far worse. One Unintended Consequence of blocking the death penalty is that many states have to build prisons that are really nursing homes for aging inmates.
Liberals take a different attitude when one of their own is affected. Mark David Hoffman plead guilty to killing John Lennon in 1981 , received the legally mandated sentence of 25 to life. He has had an exemplary record in prison, yet he has been repeatedly turned down for parole, there are standing petitions from John Lennon fans demanding he be kept locked up,they receive letters from Yoko Ono saying her pain and grief have not diminished...

When I was running for Congress in '04, I was approached by a woman who works in the Arkansas Corrections Department. She wanted me to help her get an inmate out of prison so she could marry him. He was "the victim of an injustice." She had a letter he wrote, saying the injustice was he "had forgiven his accuser, but his accuser wouldn't forgive him." So I said I'd look into it.

This guy beat and raped a woman -- beat her so badly she suffered permanent brain damage. Then he dragged her unconscious body up a railroad embankment and left her with her arms across the rails. She lost both arms.

Under the law, every time he's up for parole, his victim has to be notified and she has the right to appear before the Parole Board -- and she does.

Now HE has forgiven HER? By what stretch of the imagination has she done anything she needs forgiveness for? Her attacker is a true sociopath, and she does us all a service by keeping him in prison.
