Thanks Duluth - glad we all make dumb mistakes - brings some humour into play.
I agree that the laws need revamping - probably not only in Arizona, but everywhere.
I know here in Canada that the government is trying to change our law to "Life means Life". Right now, Life means the possibility of parole after 25 years. Most do not get paroled but the possibility is there. Unless one is designated a "Dangerous Offender" which means they are put behind bars indefinitely, the chance of parole is there. Hope this law gets changed.
This trial went on far too long making time management the culprit. JSS is known for not rushing through cases and as outraged everyone is for how long the Arias case took, they are still assigning her capital cases. Makes me think it is not a real issue in the eyes of the law.
The people that can affect change are the citizens themselves. By lobbying and advocating for change and by voting not out of habit or just for the sake of voting but by knowing WHO they are voting for and WHO CAN help make changes, this will help.
