Rant alert....
Why? The outcome will be the same. 3 hots and a cot. Demented female "fans" sending him love letters. Workshops, t.v., even waffles and steak from time to time. Journalist visits to write his story. So why hurry with this creme puff outcome. Hurry so his worthless carcass can be fed and ensconced in a cozy little cell for the rest of his miserable life?

Bring back chain gangs for violent offenders with 16 hours a day of hard labor. Provide only the most minimal sustenance. Stop the coddling of violent offenders! Let the pot heads out of jail to make room for the violent.

Rant over.
Amateur opinion and speculation

I agree the punishment should be much more harsh. Bring the damn gas chamber back and start gassing them 3 or 4 at a time. And sorry “potheads” aren’t in prison for being potheads. Show me someone who’s in prison for simple possession of pot with 0 other crimes.

I wish they would speed the ear case up because I was into the case for so long I would then for them to be able to finally release all the info they had.

Not sure I believe this article. It says he has a hearing on 8/8, but the jail site still says 8/19. First part is about the Golden State killer.

'Guilty': Golden State Killer admits to statewide rape, murder spree


Roy Charles Waller, a longtime UC Berkeley employee, was arrested in September 2018 in connection with the NorCal Rapist crime spree that included 15 sexual assaults in six counties between 1991 and 2006. Three of his victims were UCD students, attacked in their apartments 1997 and 2000.

A Sacramento Superior Court judge upheld the charges following a preliminary hearing held over multiple days in December and January. Waller now awaits trial and is due back in court Aug. 8.
 
Oops I accidentally commented in wrong thread!
However, I do want to know what happens when Waller is back in court.
