Yet more evidence that the mass of lawyers in the world need to be exterminated. This guy Larry Long is the defense lawyer for the scum who kidnapped Elizabeth Smart.
Long suggested that giving his client a light sentence could encourage kidnappers to keep their captives alive.
“If we can somehow set up some structure where the message gets out that if you bring the girl back alive, that there’s some kind of commutation of the sentence, we may be much better off as a society,” Long said.
What a dumbass. The message should be “if you harm one hair on your victim’s head, we will shoot to kill when we find you, and if you survive that, you can count on a needle in your arm, a direct connection to high voltage, or a thick rope tied around your neck when we get done with you. If you let the victim go unharmed, we’ll make it a life sentence. Your choice.”
And then FOLLOW UP.
