OK. I consider that there are crimes that are so heinous that a death penalty is the only answer.

I'm watching CNN now. They're talking about how the prosecutors in the Moussoui trial have sent letters to the victims' family asking them to help to make this a death-penalty prosecution. That's a cart-before-the-horse approach and I can't help finding it unseemly. There was a murder in Washington the other day of the head of a modeling agency and a model is being prosecuted. The news reported that he would not be charged with first degree murder because the murder wasn't premeditated. That makes sense to me. First you figure out what the perp did. From that you derive the penalty. The juxtaposition of these two cases this morning makes the former appear even more inappropriate. Karen
