Kill all these low lifes that are have no respect for another human life. Wonder how much respect would they have when it comes time to take their sorry life.

ducky, since he was sentenced under the habitual criminal act, he will serve most of his time before being eligible. But the weak ass 25 year sentence isnt enough. Should be executed the day after he loses his appeal if he does appeal.

You can't kill anyone in the legal system anymore.

25 years is a joke of a sentence for killing someone. The prosecutors say a plea deal saves the taxpayers money because their isnt a trial. That may be true, but there is another side of the story. We spend more time and money under this procedure. A slap on the wrist may save us money up front, but when they get out early, commit more crimes on a repeated basis, it costs us more in the long run. Sentence them hard the first time, make prison life a miserable time and break them from being a life criminal.
