RIP Fred.
That was the most open & shut case of “guilty” for intentional murder of police I’ve ever seen, and the mitigation factors were bullshit. And all to protect his pedo son. Two generations of trash. That guy should have gotten the chair, the needle – or better yet the firing squad- but we have too many lazy or cowardly prosecutors who won’t pursue the death penalty when warranted.
Yes, according to patterns and practices, that was a case most deserving of the death penalty, if you don’t categorically oppose it as I do and continue to do.
At the risk of your insulting me just because you can as you did before, I just point out that the decision to not seek the death penalty may NOT NECESSARILY have laziness or cowardice by the prosecutor, whose identity I do not even know and do not care to know.
PERHAPS the prosecutor knew the defendant was not long for this world anyway and decided to save tax-payers the money that AUTOMATICLY is spent the moment the announcement of a death penalty is made, including the mandatory appointment of two lawyers, not just one as in non-capital cases, and not just any two lawyers, but the more expensive “capital-qualified” lawyers of specified experiences.
You have a fair point. I have no malice towards you, btw.
Thanks and God bless.
