That's what I was thinking

Save the state some money in a long drawn out trial, and save in the long run if he got death and went for a dozen appeals. Maybe he will choke on a chicken bone!

WE DO.

A long drawn out trial will turn into yet another orgy of media begging for gun control.

James Holmes won't be the defendant, the Second Amendment will.

The prosecutors would be sheer idiots not to take this offer. First and foremost, you have a guaranteed outcome. You have the guy in custody forever. There has been exactly one person executed in Colorado since 1977--it's not like this is Texas where executions are regularly happening several years after conviction. There are currently three people on death row in Colorado--Nathan Dunlap has been there since 1996.

If you proceed with the trial and pursue the death penalty, you still have a chance of losing the case. It may be slim-but there's always a chance. Not many people thought Casey Anthony would walk, either. Plus, there's the insanity plea that would happen if the death penalty is sought.

Plus, you just had an issue where legislation was proposed to end the death penalty in Colorado. There's a lot to lose by going forward on a death penalty case with a very small reward. Best case scenario this guy would be executed 15-20 years from now.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm for the death penalty, but the way it is administered in Colorado doesn't inspire any confidence.

Nathan Dunlap, killer of four at Chuck E. Cheese, on Colorado's Death Row. The picture of hard time.
