@BrightZadaia@NewsWire_US plus like frankly death is too easy for a lot of these people, maybe have birds peck out their eyes while they stay on an IV drip? let’s get creative!
@femboyfaiIure entirely possible the victim has been groomed even though they’re now 30, but also possible they’re purely interested in not ruining the lives of his innocent children and wife, which is what a lot of the talk around this case seems to be based on
@xX_MollyPerc_Xx@NewsWire_US but he’s retiring? that’s the exact reason he’s not worried about making a call like this is because he has nothing to worry about politically, just believes it’s the right choice

@St_Frankenstein@BrightZadaia@NewsWire_US also, it’s not about if murder is punishable by death, it’s that when you make child abuse punishable that way too, there is no higher punishment for abusing and killing a child. suddenly the calculus for a lot of abusers makes “disposing the evidence” work out in their favor

@BrightZadaia@NewsWire_US nah the vast majority of predators are abusing kids related to them, if the punishment is automatic death many children wouldn’t report, and many perpetrators would kill their victims
@TheRustyDustpan@NewsWire_US context doesn’t really make it a ton better but i think the issue is the conviction is 20 years old, he never went to jail, and he’d be unable to provide for his wife and 6 kids, and the victim begged them to issue the pardon
