You should be outraged by this

Another criminal misses his appointment with Satan and his minions. The courts have had more than 14 years to settle this case. The criminal does not deny he shot a policeman in cold blood.

The Court says that allowing a victim to testify to the damage this scumbag has caused improperly influences a jury. WTF? What kind of thinking is this? The Court says only the character of the criminal should be a influence in the decision to apply the Death Penalty.

Molly Winters, the officer's widow, said the courts have no regard for victims.

"It just isn't right," she said. "To me, it's another indication that our system is geared for the perpetrator. They don't care about the victim. They don't care about victims' rights. It's all for the perpetrator."


We have Constitutional requirements for speedy trials, and protection for the presumed innocent. At some point should not the victims be given some consideration? Fourteen years? Give me a break.
