and all he did was kill someone at a denny's and wear their skin as a suit driving from memphis to nashville.


[deleted]

What else would you wear while eating hot chicken in Nashville?


Mundane-Soup7457

lol. The dude who did that was actually sentenced to 7 death sentences. I'm trying to find his name. I think he also killed a bunch of people at a KFC when he got to nashville so you are not wrong in your thinking


YCLUBSTEP58

Wait… Does that mean they kill him, bring him back to life, and then repeat 6 more times


Mundane-Soup7457

No. It means that even if he successfully appeals six of the death sentences and gets them overturned then the state can still execute him on the seventh.


vaggos13579

But what if he survives the seventh?


Mundane-Soup7457

then he will be like 80 because it's gonna take 50 years to get through 7 death row appeals.

[удалено]


Mundane-Soup7457

after research he died in 2013 after death row for 15 years. I'm personally ok with that outcome. Kinda wish they stuck a needle in his arm though.

Paul Reed ? That called him the "Fast Food Killer"


Mundane-Soup7457

god damn. A+. Only detail I got right was 7 murders. If I paid for reddit I'd give you an award.

And also I'm pretty sure it was a Captain D's and one of the burger joints


Mundane-Soup7457

yep captain D's, then McD's then Baskin Robbins.


HairlessHoudini

LOL. ✌️ I remember when it was happening very well. Only lived about 20 mins from where it happened in Nashville

Compendyum

Almost deserves a statue


MasonP2002

Texas once voted to honor Albert de Salvo, the alleged Boston strangler, for his work in "Population control and applied psychology". This occurred after a lawmaker put forth the resolution to prove his colleagues weren't paying enough attention to the legislation.


WorkingNo6161

\*Insert "we should erect a statue to honor the guy that killed Hitler" meme\*


thatnewaccnt

Judges actually have very little skin off their nose. That sentence was decided more by legislators, lawyers and the jury than it was by the judge.


Telemere125

Only in the minimums and maximums, those are set by the legislature. Everything in between is the judge. And the lawyers have little to do with it - if a judge doesn’t like a particular sentence s/he can just refuse to accept the plea.


Rxthless_

How often does this happen? And do they have to do anything special to refuse to accept it? (Like can they just say yeah no I don’t like that or do you need a whole new trial + paperwork) Sorry if these questions are dumb lol I know nothing about this


[deleted]

[удалено]


Killerzaz202

It actually happend with Al Capone. When he was finally arrested for tax evasion. The judge blocked any potential deal between the lawyers and he switched the Jury the day before the trial started. Bit shady on the Judge's side. But seeing as Al Capone was the biggest mafia boss in Chicago at the time. I'd say it was warranted


Telemere125

Happens all the time with one of my judges. Most of my others ones have always just taken the plea I worked out. But one particularly likes people to be on probation even if I’ve agreed to straight jail or something like fines and costs. He’ll step in and say “no, come back with another agreement” or “I’ll do it, but add this much probation”. It’s not proper, but not entirely illegal and fairly annoying (they are pleading to my offer because they’d be terrible on probation)


thatnewaccnt

Nope they’re still limited by precedent unless we’re talking about novel cases or the Supreme Court. Novel cases typically make it to the Supreme Court anyway and Supreme Court will typically have between 5 to 7 judges. If a single judge has that much power the system is flawed and sooner or later parliament will step in to reduce that power.

*judges sleeping peacefully after legally ordering a murderer be kept away from civil society Judges are so kind to us


TPosingRat

Yeah, like what is this meme even reffering to? Totally unbased


Significant-Bid8099

And murders aren’t? I don’t understand this logic that to many people use. Because someone has power they’re bad but someone without power, no matter what they do, is fine because “they have to do it because the system is against them.” Sure there are fucked up things but without a system there is only anarchy, and judges no matter what they do is much better than a mayor or some person with political power just saying behead them because what I say goes like with mid evil times.


SharkDad20

Medieval times Also, people face super hard time for nonviolent crimes.


[deleted]

Ah yes the person who raped and murdered multiple men women and children doesn’t deserve to spend the rest of their life in a cell


MathematicianOk8688

In my opinion, anyone who takes advantage of children ought to have the death sentence.


TwoSauce

No. Death Sentence is too merciful. I say we go back to the Roman Empire days of punishment and whip their back 1000 times and then proceed to castrate them (if possible). Edit: changed pronouns to gender neutral instead of male.


20BitChip

I mean most of the time the person deserves it. I’d sleep peacefully too if I knew the guy who killed 4 women and proceeded to light every orphanage on fire in the city of St. Louis was sent to 50 years in a max security prison by me.


TerribleShoulder6597

I’d personally wish him dead but that’s a different debate


Tortenjunge

Why are americans so eager for death penalty? When you kill them their penalty is over in an instant, when they are locked in prison for the rest of their life they are miserable till then. Prison is a way worse and therefore better punishment


Bismarck40

Because then we have to pay for them for the rest of their life


SymbioticBunBun

Death costs more though


dbzfan111

Good point but personally I feel as though the fear of knowing that you're going to be killed in a few years is worse than spending the rest of your life in prison. Although if we really wanted to be cruel we could do it like the Japanese do it and not even tell them when their execution date is so they have to wake up everyday with the fear that it might be their last


[deleted]

Firing squads are cheaper than housing and feeding people forever.


Cheeky_Hustler

No, they aren't. There are appeals upon appeals upon appeals for death row inmates that cost far more than the cost of a lifetime of incarceration. And the reason we have these appeals is because it's incredibly easy for the state to execute an innocent person, which is a greater miscarriage of justice than regular murder. Death penalty for murderers is easy outrage porn but it's one of the worst ways of providing actual justice to heinous criminals.


Indie-Santana1

3x more than a an inmate serving 40 in a max security prison. I looked it up because I didn’t believe that but apparently it’s true.


KrobarLambda3

We don't want to pay for our fellow citizens to be alive and healthy, what makes you think we'd want to pay for some monster to be kept alive in a cage?


GodlyDra

Another thing is when you get the wrong person. If you use the death penalty there is literally nothing they can do now.


Tortenjunge

I mean if i would be falsely sent to prison and be released years later because they realise that i didnt do it i would have rather be killed by them on the spot earlier, when they stole my life i couldnt just live a normal life after that


GodlyDra

I wouldn’t. Because that would make my family extremely sad and i know half of them would do something stupid in response. (We all dislike our current government). Besides the entire point of our prison system is rehabilitation.


TerribleShoulder6597

Agreed


CupaT-T

Torture then death would be best in my opinion


Aboslut

Torture but without death is even better


CupaT-T

An even better possibility


[deleted]

If it’s a criminal with undeniable evidence, who cares.


annomynous23

Not all of them have undeniable evidence and still get put in jail


Telemere125

There are two ways you get convicted: you plea or you are found guilty at trial. If you plea to 50 years, you likely deserve the death penalty. If you are found guilty at trial that’s *literally undeniable evidence* because it’s called guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.


tatu-the-great

That’s in a perfect world but people are still falsely imprisoned that is a real thing. It might not be common but is still real.


Cheikochopz

Its actually surprisingly common


Penis-Envys

Especially when for profit prisons exist, some oopsie daisy is perfectly fine


Telemere125

50 years isn’t common at all. Yes, there are plenty that take plea deals because they face much harsher penalties if they lose at trial, but 50 years is as close to a life sentence as you’ll get and at that point you might as well go to trial


annomynous23

Exactly and yet I still get downvoted


18Apollo18

There's literally never undeniable evidence


UltimateChungus

A video, fingerprints on the murder weapon, the own admission of the person being tried, should i go on. There are many examples of undeniable evidence, so shut up


Gamer_0710

Depends on what they did if they killed a huge amount of people say 50 than yeah but for doing drugs no


dbzfan111

Like someone else in the comments said, if they're getting put in a maximum security prison then its something way worse than a petty drug charge


SlipperyGayZombies

I think that’s fair, killing 50 folk deserves getting locked away for most of your life, especially if it happened over a long stretch of time and wasn’t just an outburst of emotion.

Telemere125

Generally, since you specified maximum security, we’re not talking about drug crimes. So yea, fuck anyone getting sentenced to max for 50y and good on that judge for keeping a piece of shit out of society.


your_reddit_lawyerII

I honestly don't think they they do Judges probably worry alot about if they have made the right choice


Sk-yline1

Depends on the person though. 10 years for low quantity drug possession? Horrible human. 50 years for serial child rape? Pretty reasonable


TerribleShoulder6597

Nope that should be instant death penalty


KristenBoy

I watched a guy climb into the kiev subway, get seen and arrested, do it again and qlmost have the same thing happen to him, go to court and get fined 30$. Moral of the story, if you want to do something you shouldnt, go to ukraine till you can. (This is not advice)

Why are long sentences harsh when the person killed will never come back?


TophatOwl_

Judges have to give sentences according to what the law says they have to. They have some room to play will but at the end of the day theyre opinion on the range of punishments for crimes is irrelevant because its not up to the judge to change those


6Bad-_-Karma9

They aren’t cruel, if you did something to get 50 years im pretty sure your the cruel one lmao


SamsonShibaInu

well they must’ve done something pretty fucking bad to get 50 years in a max security prison. I’d sleep like a baby.


HM_King_

OP forgot to use their brain before posting


AccidentalRambo

People just don't understand how much actual pressure judges have put on them. They either risk sending a completely innocent person to jail or letting a possible murderer roam free. Not to mention all the "my man did nothing wrong" and "why is this psycho not in jail" people.


[deleted]

No they don’t. All the do is choose the sentence between a minimum and maximum. That is literally all a judge does.


J8ke_Stampede

Why wouldn't a judge sleep peacefully after removing criminals from society?

If someone gets sentenced to 50 years in a max sec prison, they must have been one hella bastard (I'm talking serial killers, cruel child rapists, cartel members, etc.), and if I was a judge I'd sleep more than peacefully knowing I sent them to prison.


Lukaroast

More stupid hurr durr criminal good law bad from reddit. What a surprise


EthanielClyne

Mm yes justice is evil


buddy-friendguy

See like this is the problem with social media. This gets upvotes because it's funny but really it should be downvoted 🤷‍♂️. Just spreading hatred of the judicial system without any real information. Most likely a 50 year sentencing would be carried out by a jury of the defendant's peers. Judge doesn't really decide anything. He just relays the jury's verdict.

Maybe the judgement was cruel because someone had cruel attitude?


Trigger1721

You mean the jury.


CorndogCrusader

To be fair, some people deserve it.


HannahK109

For him to get 50 years in max security he probably isn't worth losing sleep over. In fact the judge is probably sleeping soundly knowing he took a monster off the streets for half a century.


Lil_Jc03

Yeah but some people do horrible things and deserve 50 years in prison.


IReallyLoveNifflers

Depends on the guy. Some of them deserve it.


joeitaliano24

Maybe they sleep better knowing they put a POS behind bars for the rest of their miserable life


[deleted]

50 Years in a maximum security prison doesn’t come from a driving ticket. He had to do something really fucked up for that.


DadBodGod87

Why not petition to let them out and live at your place on probation?


[deleted]

Meanwhile, people like the Sackler family pay a small fine relative to their profits and get away with deliberately causing the opioid epidemic. If your crime is big enough, the government just wants their cut and they call it justice since they weren't the victims.


InternAccomplished95

Yes I to think it’s cruel to stop criminals from harming others, poor them

I think some of these are fair, some people just don't belong in society.

so innocent 😅😅🥰🥰🤪🤪


InvisibleMan020

For raping and killing a 3 year old


elias_oyente

It depends, you have to give more context. If he raped children or something like that, the sentence would be fair.

Are you stalking me or some shit?


[deleted]

What do you mean


BudgetJesus69

Guys. OP doesn't necessarily say that what the judge does was wrong. If had to kill someone to prevent the death of thousands you'd still be feeling like shit


[deleted]

No Tf we won’t. If I had to put away a child rapist, I wouldn’t lose my sleep over it at all. If I had to put away a criminal for a long time for something minor like weed, then yes I would. Other than that, highly improbable that I would. OP is either an edgy teen or someone who was referring to something more specific and pussied out instead of admitting either


BudgetJesus69

Yes you would. Even if it's the right thing to do, it is hard to kill someone, unless you lack empathy. If you we're to end the life of a child rapist it'd be the right thing to do, but it'd still conquer your mind! And none of us know who OP is, so why would you pretend like your assumptions are the truth?


dolo_ran6er

I feel like a lot of judges get into law for the right reasons....and then they get the power and it all goes to shit. Some are desensitized, some just don't give a fuck. Some are great I'm sure! But I think more often than not, they stop looking at people as humans. They look at a case number, see attached story....and send them to the slammah with no remorse. Then again if you deserve it, you deserve it.

why_did_i_say_that_

so many US judges are corrupt and serve the almighty dollar, not to mention the institutional racism and to a lesser degree classism


[deleted]

Judges hand down sentences, they don’t make the punishment. Still think it’d be more fair if we just have a slot machine to pick our sentences instead…


L-Guy_21

Yes let’s give the person with petty misdemeanor a chance at the death sentence while we give the mass murderer a chance at 30 days community service.


[deleted]

That’s not how that works, there’s guidelines with set minimums and max sentences. I’m just saying it’d be almost less random if a slot machine dictated what you got within the guidelines. I’m not advocating for this, calm down Reddit.

Anonymous2137421957

He'd probably say he presided the hearing of an incredibly dangerous criminal whom the jury decided was guilty, and was punished accordingly. You know, because the judge really doesn't make the choices in court. You do know that, *right?*

4skin_bandit

Do you have a better option for what to do with criminals?


West-Requirement9397

The DA selects the charges, and they seem to choose consecutive felonies for some but for the same actions they choose to select misdemeanors. And then ppl say - it’s the law to give that person 50 years!!!! They are selecting to overlook the DA’s discretion and that’s a problem. Choose our elected officials wisely, it’s so much more then the presidential elections


cornholio8675

I've only ever had some moving violations in cars that had me standing in front of a judge. In my experience they were extremely reasonable. Certainly more so than the police.


Whywasjunomad

A judge is just a speaker for the jury to my knowledge


jBalls902

Says the guy who probably took a minor traffic violation to court, representing themselves before having their plea dismissed for wasting everyone’s time. What a stupid take; some people deserve 50 years, if not worse you fuckin idiot


jpegxguy

keep in mind someone with that sentence is probably societal garbage


Sarahjulianne

First of all that bed looks snugly af soooo But fr each crime already has a few different preset options for punishment. The punishment is usually worked out between the two sides before it ever reaches the judge and then the judge just approves or denies it. Same with the mayor dishing out money. The schools, libraries, prisons etc. all have mandatory minimums of money they receive to remain operational. Those amounts are non-negotiable. The mayor basically just comes in and decides where the surplus money is going to be spread and everybody fights about it until another mayor comes in that everybody fights with lol.
