Nope, you say we might as well throw that life away as garbage. Must
be great to be able to see in to the future and know with such
certainty whether a person will ever be able to change and ever be able
to do any good for his fellow man. I don't know where one finds such
certainty about human nature and the future, but somehow I think it
comes from a place to which I wouldn't want to go.

I am normally anti-death penalty, but I have one name for you. Timothy
Buss. Google it.

Same here. I have opposed the death penalty all my life, but if we are
going to have it, this is the type of case where it's appropriate.

Buss got the DP and it was stayed when then Gov. of IL George Ryan
(whom I also know) abolished the DP in Illinois. I wished he (George)
could have waited a bit longer.

In many ways I thing Gov. Geo needed it himself.

He's honestly not a bad guy. He made stupid, terrible choices and it
looks like he will pay for them. Greed can turn otherwise lovely
people into monsters. That's what I think happened there.

Isn't he now pleading for amnesty, because his atty's says he's too old
to do time?

Like the above statement modified, it's like he's saying "It won't
matter if you lock me up, you still won't get your money back..."

I don't know. Last I heard he got 6.5 years and is suppsed to report
in January. He wants to stay free on bond while he appeals but it is
unlikely that they will grant him the favor. He may win the appeal,
though, because of the issue with the jurors having to be replaced.
Honestly, I will be *really* surprised if he does any time.

Well, from what I understand there is no money, either, LOL...

Monsters who aren't honestly such bad people? How exactly does _that_ work out?
