As more little tid bits are aired, I find myself analysing what is it about this case that angers me so much. I tend to ponder all angles of those affected by Allison's death - children, siblings, parents, friends etc and sometimes consider their loss too great to possibly fathom. I feel we (society) have lost a person who had a great deal left to contribute.
If/when GBC gets convicted - I don't feel any prison sentence fits such a crime. We, the taxpayers, will be burdened with the cost of keeping him alive... while he catches a flick on the tv in his cell or partakes in a game of poker before tea (we will also pay for the long, drawn out legal process that gets him there). Sure, there'll be loss of freedom, but in my view, this is NOT repaying your 'debt' to society - just adding insult to injury. Eye for an eye. IMHO. But that's a whole other debate..... Whichever way you look at, emotionally or financially - one person (possibly more???) in one foul swoop has taken a lot from this world that will impact generations to come.
Nothing here that probably hasn't already been said before by many others - just had to speak my mind!
(ALL IMHO)
True, same is USA, why should taxpayers pay forever...Sometimes cases such as this make me lean more towards the death penalty ( I am from Texas, soo...) as when it drags on for years it is or has to be a constant factor in the families life, really no closer...What young child should have to live their life into adulthood visiting a prison, always hanging over their head..no end for them ... That is the sad part, all the lives that are forever changed because of one evil person...Heartbreaking...
