This was my point from my post yesterday. This option was offered by Holmes, but the DA elected to go forward solely to seek the death penalty (this was before governor limp dick refused to act on the Nathan Dunlap execution). So, you've got a sure win--life in prison, even though there's a threat of a potential winning move in the insanity plea, and the DA elected to roll the dice on the seemingly non-existent death penalty in Colorado.
Should Holmes die for what he did? Absolutely. But, given the playing field and the legitimate issues in getting the conviction, it seems that DA may have been a tad cavalier.
And for those wishing to revert to Sharia--you may be joking, but last time I checked this is still a state and nation of laws. you know who changes the law to fit their purpose? Comrade Obama. Not here. I'd rather this puke walk free than live one second under the absurd global pestilence that is Sharia.
