Thank Goddess that GusGus is a tattooed witch!!
I am so relieved she got out of that mess! That being said, tho, where would my family be without the brave jurors who convicted the gangsters that shot and paralyzed my nephew? It's a very tough call to make when someone must step up to the plate ... but not you or your loved ones.
Interesting to think about this "Silverstein" case as regards my stance on the death penalty (anti). How do you go further than life in prison without treading into the territory of taking human life (a major verboten to me, whether done by "state" or man)?
Perhaps this veers near cruel or unusual, but for these guys - if convicted of conducting murders while already serving life sentences - I'd go for permanent solitary confinement with no human contact ever again.
(Oh, and for Silverstein, who betrays his race by somehow managing to join the Aryan Brotherhood under false pretenses of a silly nickname, I'd have no problem with ritual torture.)
