| To me the burglary is pale compared to the end act. I understand there are fine points to the law and they usually are argued at nausium during a trial.
I'm very much for being fair but the degree of a murder just confuses me. Is the person any less dead? I understand there are extenuating circumstances to some deaths as well - but it's the little crimes that led up to the main crime that gets wailed on. They "bargain" with these things and I think that's wrong. If you killed someone out of passion and jealousy then I think you deserve maximum punishment. It doesn't matter if you burglarized a habitation.
I just feel IF someone says - yes I did it - that's enough for me to not argue that perhaps he could be innocent. It has nothing to do with a Soviet Union mentality. I just have no patience for all the posturing that goes on with some trials.
I do hope the evidence proves that the police have the right person and I do hope he gets the full punishment that the law allows.
That my friend is where I come from. It's not a mind bender. I meant no disrespect to your eloquence on the statues.
