When I was a youngster, a juvenile, I got charged for stealing paper. Yup, that's right, 8.5 x 11 inch blank paper.
Hired a lawyer to "defend" me. First meeting with the lawyer, he asked me if I did it. I said yes. He said, "OK, then. We are going to plead guilty."... and I got punished!
The right to remain silent should NOT be exercised in cases like this. The right to remain silent is more or less the right to withhold evidence and information.
The public has the RIGHT to know. The victim's family has the RIGHT to know.
Screw the right to remain silent. If the suspect is innocent, let him say so, and provide the evidence.
If he is guilty, let him confess, and provide the evidence.
Now what? Are us tax-payers going to have to work hard to pay taxes so that trash like this can stay alive in prison.
Prison provides good food, entertainment, they have their own gym to work out... drugs and sex on the side... etc... etc... etc...
Justice is justice. Eye for an eye. Tooth for a tooth. Life for a life.
Those responsible, and those who lie for them should all be burned alive. Then our community will be purged of this evil.
Then, and only then, criminals will think twice about ever doing such a thing.
