Most district court judges have come up from the ranks as prosecutors and have a particular mindset,E.G. Terrance Gilmore and Jolene Blair, who chased a man for more than 10 years, covering up evidence in order to convict him, (Timothy Masters). A prison health commission would be a better idea; one made up of physicians as well as judicial team members. jasonpecci.blogspot.comMary-Ellen, Mimi, Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16821757656196757558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-71165037840875427442009-11-15T22:01:24.454-05:002009-11-15T22:01:24.454-05:00Amy: I understand what is being argued before the ...Amy: I understand what is being argued before the Supreme Court. The points that I put in my post were the points I think the Supremes should also be considering (potential consequences of a class-based sentencing system) and a possible ulterior motive of why this issue is coming up now (more aging lifers).ClinkShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316134491751195651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-42625048841497467132009-11-15T21:29:27.328-05:002009-11-15T21:29:27.328-05:00I think you're misunderstanding the arguments ...I think you're misunderstanding the arguments being made against life sentences for juveniles. The argument is not that it costs the system too much or that any long sentence that results in a person dying in prison is wrong. The argument is that given what we know about the way adolescents' brains work, there is reason to believe that juveniles are more likely than adult offenders to be rehabilitatible. You may be more qualified than I am to argue about whether that's actually the case, but when you discuss this issue, you should accurately discuss the actual arguments being made, not paint a false slippery slope in which the sick and elderly go unpunished.Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-48029231814610771242009-11-15T20:48:59.806-05:002009-11-15T20:48:59.806-05:00Anon: Thank you
