What a FREAKIN IDIOT

(CNN) -- Ohio school shooter T.J. Lane will spend the rest of his life in prison for the deaths of three students last year, a judge ruled Tuesday.
Lane entered the courtroom wearing a button-down shirt, but took it off early in the hearing to reveal a white T-shirt with the word "killer" written on it, according to CNN affiliate WJW. The attire was similar what he was wearing when arrested by police shortly after the killings.
Given the opportunity to speak to the court, Lane made an obscene gesture at the victims' families and spoke to them using explicit language, the station reported.
He smiled and smirked during much of the hearing, WJW reported, laughing when the prosecutor described him as an "evil person."

Lane pleaded guilty last month to three counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted aggravated murder and weapons-related charges.

The death penalty was off the table because of Lane's age at the time of the crimes, according to prosecutors.......no mention of him not having the capacity to stand trial, and sociopaths and evil folks who have no regard for others do exist, and in fact suffer a type of mental illness, but in Romney's case he became a presidential candidate, and there was no discussion of mental illness.....just everybody's envy of wealth.....dual definitions, or maybe if this guy was really successful, and he only killed factories and families.......and gave the finger to America......well would we call that sociopath mentally Ill?

I read somewhere it cost about one million dollars to keep someone in prison for 50 years and at least 2 million to prosecute them to the death penalty. The problem here is we have made so many loop holes to make it almost impossible to give the death penalty and that's what makes it cost so much. if the sentence could be handed down at the time of conviction and that's it, it wouldn't cost that much. Im mean some cases are clear cut and the ability to drag the case on and on should not be given.

Not all the time Dreams. They are times when sentencing is set for a later date and sometimes the jury has to go and deliberate the sentence. Sentencing is not always cut and dry at time of conviction.
