I would not support a death penalty case that didn't have DNA co-oboration (sp.) unless of course the suspect confessed to the crime(s).

Quite frankly I am so tired of the mentality that it's the criminal who gets the health-care, the gym, the computer and internet. I have to pay for mine. I am tired of the notion that jail should rehabilitate. I don't buy into it because I don't think that's what jail is for. I've not problems with 12-step meetings or anything of that nature but the self-importance that some of these "therapists" feed to themselves is a scam. Someone is either going to lead a life of honesty or their not. How tired I am of those who criminals who get the benefit of the doubt while the lives of their victims and their loved ones have been altered forever at a minimum or ruined at a maximum.
