James Holmes to plead guilty

[roberth]

so, they want to limit the gun rights of millions of law abiding Americans, but they would even consider giving him a deal? WTF

I know punish the good guys and make sure we dont give the bad guys death, that way the next guy figures "what the hell 3 hots and a cot, cable television and I get to live to old age paid for by the families of the victims I murdered" our government sucks. 3 of these threads this afternoon and my blood pressure is through the roof.

Yeah, this is crap.

What happened to "We don't negotiate with terrorists".

Maybe life in prison for this guy wouldn't be so bad instead of the Death Penalty. Give him a few years rooming with Bubba and getting his ass beat every night. Then at some point then another Inmate can just end it.

Real prison ain't no joke. Gen pop = he springs a leak.

the news article had the good quote by that (father of a victim?), " be courageous and just kill yourself."

So we can demand they try him and sentence him to death. The tax payers are on the hook for a million plus in the cost to try him. With a case this big the sentence will likely be appealed and if there is one I that is not dotted or one t that was not crossed in a police report or document presented at his trial there's a good chance he will be retried costing the tax payers even more money. There's also a chance that if something wasn't done correctly the trial could be declared a mistrial and he would go free. If everything is good to go and he is tried, found guilty and sent to death row he will likely never be executed and tax payers will be on the hook for his special detainment on death row and all of his legal costs incurred filing appeals. He'll likely die of old age on death row before he is executed and the tax payers will be on the hook for countless millions of dollars.

If the Prosecutors office accepts his request, he goes to prison for the rest of his life and will most likely spend the remainder of his life in solitary confinement. Mr. Holmes is going to be an extremely high profile inmate and anyone who kills him in prison will be deemed a hero because he is going to be considered a trophy. Spending a lifetime in a one man cell on 23 hour a day lock down is as good as any torture I've heard of.

As much as I'd like to see this dude fry I know it won't happen either way so in the interest of tax paying citizens I'm all for the plea deal that will sentence him to spend the rest of his natural life in a Colorado prison.

This is the biggest non news story of the day. His attorney's know he is not insane and will hang, if the little bugger gets out he will do it again. They offered to plead guilty, what a joke. It is not like he negotiated and actually plead out.

A conspiracy by the leftists and the post to make the DA look bad.

[Stevensje]

His desire to live is evidence of his sanity. Get a rope.

I agree! Hang his Ass in Civic Park.

[losttrail]

Great. Now the taxpayers get to pay for this low-life for decades.

$0.45 could save millions.

I wonder if this scumbag's dad will plea to Hickenidiot that solitary confinement is too cruel and maybe he should be in minimum security.

You got it all wrong. Try him, convict him, sentence him to death. He'll be on the fast track to a needle in his arm. Just ask Nathan Dunlap.

A fitting punishment- did you ever hear Ron White talking about how he thought OBL shouldn't get the death penalty if we caught him? Just have him room with Thunderdick... "You're gonna run out of jelly!"
