I am for the death penalty when there is actually no question as to who is guilty, ie..video surveillace, multiple witnesses, photos, huge amounts of DNA evidence. I also believe there are so many crooked cops out there, and crooked DA's. DNA evidence is so easy to plant, there needs to be alot of it. This case in Ft. Hood is a no brainer, he ... Read Moreneeds to die, but the last person to die in the military was I believe in 1969. In fact, the military usually doesn't even go after the death penalty. It's pathetic. This I believe was an act of terror, and needs to be treated as such. If the military unexpectedly goes after the death penalty, the sad part is that he will not only get his appeals in the military, but then gets the same privileges in civilian court as well. What a joke.

I hear you Lisa ,its going to be allot of tax payers money to protect his "rights" we will pay for his lawyers...go figure an d yes I agree that there really has to be solid evidence in a death penalty case. I would only hope that we wouldn't put anyone to death if the evidence was questioable. maybe instead of all the costly appeals they should ... Read Morepay to have an indipendent source investigate the case/evidence etc aomeone who is non bias. Then again I feel some people are deamed innocent only to actually be guilty (O.J) . The bottom line is I hate the fact that we have spent so much money housing people that should of been put to death, Scott Peterson, Charles Manson and his followers,,,does anyone know how much we have spent to keep these low lifes prison all these years???

I totally agree with you Holly. I work in Social Services, and talking with Social Workers, it's impossible for them to cover every single aspect of a child's welfare, Parole is the same thing. Oversized caseloads, increasing caseloads, decrease in the numbers of employees, something always gives. ALWAYS! Humans are only capable of handling so ... Read Moremany cases, visits, etc.., usually it's a breakdown starting from the top at the Administration level, not with the line staff. Administration is where the directives come from. Even though they chastise those at the bottom, the top is where they need to look first.

Big Deal, prisoners in California are moved around all the time. Not a new practice. With all the gang problems, moves are made to alleviate certain other problems in the prisons, not necessarily anything to do with him.

You may think that its cruel and unusal punisihment to some people/inmates. I wander if the victims. you know the ones who came home to find they have been robbed, or the person that had to look down the barrel of a gun while working in a store/bank. being car jacked, mugged, or how about someone who was murdered? a child who was abused? I think ... Read Morewhat happens to the victims is cruel and unuasl punishment. no one ever mentions the innocent victims who have been hurt along the way. Some inmates say that they just use/sell drugs and are different than people who commit violent crimes. they only hurt themselves. but they rob/steal shoplift (the cost/losses from the stores are passed along to all of us.) and many are involved in credit card fraud check fraud. identity thief. the list goes on and on. I don't think they should be starved or abused in prison. but they are in PRISON there is a REASON they are there.IF you can't do the time, don't commit the crime! most all of everyone goes into beaking the law knowing that they have broken the law. and have a very good chance of getting and all of them will get caught sooner or later. when they are arrested they cry fowl, the excuses fly. You never hear anyone speaking about the lives that have been shattered beyond repair by these poor mislead, abused inmates....

Its heart breaking to see so many kids out on the streets and parents who let them do what ever they want, I have taken in and raised quite a few of my kids friends, One stayed a week-end and when I became concerned that the mother never contacted me. I asked the child to call her, she proceeded to call every Bar in town (she knew the numbers by ... Read Morememory) needless to say the girl stayed with me till she was 19 and is now married and on her own. she still calls me mom and hardly ever see's her real mother..there are allot of kids out there like this and it is sad that they end up on drugs ,crimes to survive allot of them end up in Jail and prisons and worse some of them end up dead. ..

there is way to much contraband in the prisons.. it puts the correctional officers in harm when they have to go search the cells for this stuff..

I totally agree with you Lisa, I wasn't knocking the prisons or the way things need to be processed (mail etc) She just asked a question and I gave her an answer. I am on the side of the law! and the more security the better. It amazes me how so much contraband does get into the prisons..Its a very dangerous job on the best of days, Plus cell phones also allow the inmates to stalk people on the outside including there victims....
