Michel Rey Gascon: Without death penalty, prison guards have no protection
Re “Life sentence is no deterrent to prison lifers” (Opinions, July 26): By denying the death penalty by our so-called judges in this country, the so-called justice system just dropped the last line of defense.
We are showing inmates across our country, quite literally, that they can get away with murder. But then again, that’s our justice system in a nutshell. It’s getting so bad it’s even dipped into the small-claims court. I don’t know where this is going to take this wonderful country of ours. All I can say is “God save us!”
