the holmes case

[alxone]

anybody else watch the hearing ?

[Ronin13]

Yeah, but we have a crappy internet connection here at work, so I didn't really catch a whole lot. Was there anything important? I heard the judge reiterate that he was allowing extended media coverage.

Holmes looked drugged and seemed to be nodding off

[alxone]

Oh and no bail it to be set

I was saying the same thing. Dude looked high as hell, thought he was gonna take a nap right there.

I did not see it, but I figure the guy will end up in the state mental hospital (prison) here in Pueblo. I see a plea of "not guilty by reason of insanity". The state will then drug him up until his brain is mush, destroying it with chemicals that will permanently lobotomize him over time.
If he is sent to a regular prison in Canon City or Sterling, the general population of inmates will off him for a candy bar...I couldn't be a jailer because I would accidently leave a rope in his cell.

He had the chance to eat a bullet and he didn't do it. I doubt he would be man enough to string a rope around his neck.

After a few years of isolation in max security a rope or bedsheet might seem good.

He's got the toughest DA in Colorado. More death penalty cases than the rest.

I've had the opinion for years that those that commit the most heinous crimes and are caught red handed, without the possibility of anyone else committing the crime, should be strung up immediately following their trial.

This guy is a perfect example. Have the trial, find him "guilty, without the possibility of doubt, of mass murder - a heinous crime punishable by immediate execution" and march him off to the gallows within minutes of the verdict. No 20 years of appeals and all that shit.

Same goes for child molesters, rapists and other murderers. If a guy is caught raping a little girl, and I mean caught during the act itself, there is no possibility of doubt he did it. He was caught on top of her! String him up immediately after he's found guilty at the trial.

Trials where it isn't so cut and dried are a different story.
