Well since you put it THAT way, by all means — we should definitely show her no compassion by granting her request to die at home, nor any other dying prisoners who requests the same thing.

Here in California, we could make a huge dent in the prison overcrowding crisis AND the insane budget deficit by doing this very thing — by allowing the elderly and dying to finish out their days on earth at home or hospitalized, instead of the prison system footing the bill.

You put it in earthly terms of courts and serving justice made up by governments, then let’s do the fiscally responsible thing all the way around. Let’s keep it pragmatic and realistic.

Then she definitely should go home today. Would save all of us taxpayers a ton of $$$, rather than keep her in prison.

I vote for that for sure.

Speaking only for myself, I don't necessarily see why justice and good order should be administered on the cheap. I wonder, if your method was adopted, where the cut off would be in allowing convicted, terminally ill murderers to return home to live out their lives? One month, two, three, maybe a year...?

Why do you care more for the murderer than the families of those murdered? Why do you want to hurt those families?
