Money talks.

If he had been a poor kid raised in a trailer park or the ghetto, he would probably have already burned his first appeal for murdering a CEO.

Garnett was recommended to the White House by Senator Chuck Schumer.[5] On June 28, 2023, President Joe Biden announced his intent to nominate Garnett to serve as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.[2] On July 11, 2023, her nomination was sent to the Senate.

Or go to California. Thursday in TX, a man was executed for killing his former girlfriend and her boyfriend. I suspect were that the judge, he would still be alive.

Either this judge is an idiot or the law is utterly broken. Premeditated assassination should most certainly warrant the death penalty. That is not a behavior we can afford to reward by removing the harshest punishment.

 

[Captain Creeper]

I guess he could still have an accident while being escorted back to his cell after court appearances.

Meh, he can be "dreamy" at ADX Florence Super Max for the rest of his life.

I figure he will spend most of it in here:

Hell, if he was an illegal, he'd be out on the street already.

Agreed. Hell, they have him on video doing it!

Better than spending the rest of life in prison .

Like some Dem won't pardon him 20 years from now if they ever get into power.

He is the kind of guy democrats idolize.

I wonder how many defense attorneys are going to ask for a new hearing for their claimant based on this judge's decision.

I imagine this will be appealed quickly.

Yep. His only mistake was failure to renounce his citizenship before the assassination. Democrats would scorch the nation for him if he is an illegal alien.

So now we cannot execute unhinged murderers unless they were committing another crime at the same time? Once again, our justice system cannot get out of its own way in protecting the individual regardless of the impact on society at large, so we are now a country filling up with criminals on the streets while we go broke trying to house the rest for life in prison.

Lethal injection: $35

House prisoner for rest of life: est. 2-5 million.

Yeah, I don't get it...How in the holy f**k can a seemingly educated person, elevated to the level of a Judge, hear what's coming out of her mouth here, and say to themselves, yeah, this person cold blooded murdered this man, but, capital murder is out of the question....Maybe a ticket for littering from the brass falling on the sidewalk....Jesus.
