[@Ignirium]

@Reemo Williams Deciding for me what i can and can't understand is what i expect from a theist, since theists declare they have access to special knowledge/supernatural truth. I can understand God if I'm willing to challenge logic, accept fallacies, cultivate biases and find patterns - It all develops into a very self supporting belief. I understand god in a lot of ways, mainly as a goal or motivation, something to anchor and begin morality with, because w/o God some believers think there's no basis for morality. I like viewing God as a motivation. I have more respect than you think i do, but it's complicated.

The soul holds our ultimate beliefs that make us who we are. Some people have a loving and compassionate spirit and others do not. The Judge, in this case, is compassionate and loving of even a sinner, and is broken hearted about the little girls violent treatment, disrespect, and subsequent death. She knows the parents horrific pain and the loss they will contunue to suffer. She probably carries everyones pain within herself. Her soul is tortured by the world and set right by doing her best to bring about fairness and justice for all. That all makes her a valued and incredible human.

You must not be familiar with the criminal justice system. I've worked in the Florida criminal justice system for 25 years. It is not light on criminals. Your belief that it is goes against reality. More than 95% of people (approximately) take a plea. Many defendants are overcharged from the beginning, some are completely innocent. They are so afraid of going to trial because of the draconian consequences that they opt for the plea. You might be shocked to see the weak evidence that constitutes so many cases.

Sure, the plea may be ADJ CTS (adjudication and credit for time served). Now you are a convicted felon. There are about 100 negative collateral consequences to being a convicted felon. And don't get me started on drug possession where people are addicts. Such people would not be criminalized and would be treated medically in any civilized nation like the countries of Europe for example.

Of course the government must remain neutral, this judge is talking about "redemption" and "sins" and hope he gets granted whatever and so on and so forth and that's endorsing a religion which is christianity. This is prohibited in the 1st amendment's establishment clause. She can believe in jesus or in the tooth fairy all she wants but when she represents the government she cannot endorse any of it that's why she felt she had to "cover her tracks" when she said that people can believe all they want or disbelieve but she still went ahead with the religious nonsense after that. Another example of unconstitutional government intrusion is putting up the 10 commandments in public classrooms, that's unconstitutional because it's endorsing a religion over others, that's why the government has to stay out of the religion business that way no one will feel ostracized.

You’re right about the function of the defense attorney in cases like this. Plainly put, someone has to handle the criminal’s paperwork if he’s going to be executed. The approach to defense in a case like this is going to be relatively passive. A defense lawyer doesn’t have to lie, and they can go a long way to persuade the defendant’s acceptance of the situation as you said. There’s a lot that goes on outside of court & there are things to be sorted out, like property, pets, family members, etc. The defense attorney is still a liaison in these cases, otherwise there would just be that much more hardship for the community.

It ultimately is up to the defendant, but attorney have a heavy hand. The next step is dependent on case, to reduce the possible punishment to client may receive. I don't know anything about this case (popped up in YT), so I don't know if this is a paid lawyer or court appointed. I know I would never want a public defender for example because chances are higher, they talk a person into a guilty plea despite whether or not they could defeat a prosecution and just go through the motions if the defendant chose to go to trial. This is in part due to their heavy case load and some of them just being "beginners". If the attorney isn't doing what I mentioned above whether you are guilty or not, whether they think (or know) you are guilty or not, then you have a bad attorney. Yes indeed it does suck to know that one may have actually saved a murderer, rapist, and/or child abuser from punishment, but if the prosecution couldn't prove it to the jury, then so be it. It's the only way we can put some type of (still flawed) safeguards up to prevent wrongful convictions even if it means guilty can go free.

There is a massive pedophilia case in Germany with thousands pieces of evidence from a holiday camp. Yes, THOUSANDS.

And later on, the German national police took over because of the severity, finding that the local police screwed up so bad, they literally missed several more disc's and tapes in the camp. Why I am explaining this so much? Because the in investigators have to review analyze every single piece of evidence they got. THOUSANDS of videos and pictures. As if the quantity isn't bad enough, the content itself was so horrifying that several people had to quit the force due to sustaining severe psychological problems. The case in itself was a game changer for policework here as the force essentially openly declared war against pedophiles. And it worked. Several operations hit the news, there were days where they reported a dozen raids happening at once in a single day, at the same time.

Anyone who harms or kills a child deserves nothing less than what he was sentenced to but my concern is why take so long after the sentence to the execution. One automatic legal examination of the evidence and trial to confirm fairness and truth of the trial then set the date within a maximum of 30 days and be done with it.
