This is what's wrong with the justice system

This is why the justice system is so screwed up.

Why do we as a society find it necessary to add all sorts of ancilliary charges to the one that counts - he shot a woman.

Common sense would dictate that he used a - gun?! Charge and punish him for the act against another human being.

'Ah, but pm, we have to take him off the street for a long time.'

Then make the punishment for the crime (of shooting someone) sufficient.

I've long thought that the classifications for murder should be streamlined; murder should be murder, or the intentional taking of another human life. There shouldn't be an 'aggravated' murder, of 'felony' murder, or 'especially wicked' murder ....... murder is murder. And I feel the punishment for murder should be death. Period.

But don't get me started ......
