I’m glad the judge made it clear that this was an improper criteria. But sheesh.
* Upon reflection, maybe someone was arguing for life instead of death because they know the death penalty actually costs huge sums of money — which it does. But I doubt it. I’m guessing someone in there was saying they should save the government money by killing him.
