Families who think that a killer who offs himself, or is done in by fellow inmates, denies them justice have obviously never had the experience of going to court for 2+ years of continuances, and attending a 3 week long trial where photos and autopsy reports are shown and talked about, and where defense lawyers grill witnesses, and then have to sweat through jury deliberations which can take up to several days.

It is no picnic for the families of victims--I wonder how so many of them can do it. I admire them, but in all honesty, this is a better way for them, in the long run.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
