Again, we agree. But those aren't the cases that concern me. I'm more interested in mercy for the living and wrongly accused, than 'fair' retribution upon the wicked.Mass murders that are highly publicized, have definite recordings, and so on, where the person captured clearly isn't mentally stable, clearly has no regrets, wrote a manifesto, and so on. Those all deserve death, and in those situations the trial is little more than formality.
