WTH?! Without consent?
Earlier, during a break, Bracamontes repeatedly told his lawyers he wanted to plead guilty.
"You don't have the right to plead guilty without our consent," Assistant Public Defender Jeffrey Barbour told him quietly while the judge waited. They later blamed his outbursts on anxiety.
I didn't read any further. My brain was boiling.

"The whole purpose of the complicated structure of western jurisprudence in criminal matters, as built up over the centuries, has been to keep the innocent from being convicted and punished through error. It sometimes lets the guilty go free in the process, but that's not the purpose......his guilt has been established with much more certainty than a court could possibly establish it.......and I don't propose to extend to him the protections that were devised to protect the innocent."
Stop playing legal games and execute the bastard.
That's not a comment on this case, just in general.
Rand was similarly circumspect, indeed even more so, about granting permission to use her name or words for some purpose.
climate is what you expect; weather is what you get.

I imagine that it would be very difficult to recant some of the things that some of your characters said at various points, while keeping hold of some of the other points you - excuse me 'your characters' - made.

Murderers, Ok -- politicians, too easy. They should be made to memorize the Constitution, the Preamble, the Federalist Papers, and every time they slip up, a nun will be hired to slap various parts of them with a ruler.
This guy and his toked-up wife were sitting in a car in a parking lot of a known-druggie apartment complex, and a police car rolled up on them. One officer got out and approached, the other covered from behind. This pillar of society shot the cop approaching in the forehead and shot the other cop in the face with an AR15. (I love guns, I'm just indicating that this was a high velocity, tumbling .223 caliber round that tends to do a lot of damage).
He then took off, figured they needed to ditch the car, and car-jacked a civilian on a nearby street, when he didn't immediately get out of the car, said pillar of society shot him in the forehead as well with his rifle at point-blank range. He kind of survived I think, I haven't seen any updates on his condition... this was last September/October or so.
Then of course they fled, and in Auburn, California, he shot another Detective in the forehead. He also died instantly.
One of the cops was just married a month or so earlier, the other was a father of little kids and his own father died 20 years ago to the day, also in the line of duty, in a police helicopter crash.
This piece of sh*t deserves whatever they give him, unfortunately, there is a 50-year lag on executions here, so sending him to Gitmo or whatever is fine with me.
He is also an illegal, and was deported several times before, always returning to the Salt Lake City area. It wasn't really clear in the news why he was even in Sacramento. Although... it doesn't take a stretch to figure out this guy is probably a narco... he's back & forth across the border a lot (which is costly to do and normally a life's savings for someone in Mexico) and had some impressive firepower for an illegal, at best, I've only seen Mexican nationals with a .38 special and normally barely-operable or something. Non-gangbanger Mexicans are just not the types to carry heat. It's really a foreign concept for them.
So it's not merely this instance, but it is all governments. I did not consent to be ruled by this or any government, nor to allow any government to void my Right to Life, Liberty, Property and/or the Happiness of Prosperity.
Who can name any human living today who gave any such consent to be Ruled... by any other Human?
I consented once...and then boarded a train for boot camp.
Never regretted the event, or the subsequent story.
I too never regretted the service, though getting an excellent engineering education as the "price" of such was certainly a bargain. Luckily for me, there weren't much in the way of shooting engagements during my active duty.
I suspect this is a rather large class.

right and privilege and personal property and things
like that have different definitions. -- j
I'm certain the officers who buried their comrades and coworkers would be happy to toss them our of the helicopter.
BTW, those would be the lawyers that helped destroy the health care system.
As long as you're careful and follow procedure, Death Row is the easiest post for an officer to work inside a state prison. Been there, done that.
For some reason--wonder what that could be?--almost all Death Row inmates do not want to rock the boat at all.
For example, if he's part of an organized crime group and was threatened with the life of his family if he doesn't take the fall.

More likely, due to his love of killing cops, he would be hired by the drug cartels.
