Can anybody out there explain to me why we are wasting thousands and thousands of dollars in tax payer's time and money to try a cold blooded killer who has already received the death penalty for the same crime in another state? Especially when he is not eligible for the death penalty here?
I don't get it. What will finding him guilty again prove?
I know - it was a rhetorical question for the most part, but when the outcome of a trial won't change anything - I'm not sure I see the point except to go through a ritual. Then again, perhaps it's the ritual that's important.
The right to a trial is as much for a victim as it is for a criminal, as well as a central tenet in the Bill of Rights.
