Obvious stupidity on the part of the prosecuting attorneys on this level and in such a public case is disheartening.
This is a case where insanity isn't just a defense ploy, but is an obvious factor that should have framed how the case was presented.
Going for the death penalty in this case makes the state prosecutors look like an ill convened aggregation of random bumblers (even if that is the case there is no need to make it obvious).
This case should have been handled quietly out of the public eye, and Loughner should be put in mental care someplace where he can be compassionately but irresistibly sequestered under mental care.
“Loughner should be put in mental care someplace where he can be compassionately but irresistibly sequestered under mental care.”
Where he could end up being released in the future. If he is so insane, so crazy, so tormented, that he goes on a rampage, in this respect, death would be an appropriate measure. Like the Manson women, there is always that possibility that he could end up being released and able to go on another shooting spree.
Yes, under the compassionate care of this wonderful nurse.
