Where I live, the county can’t fund a fifth prosecutor, court dates slip two years out, and a stolen truck gets a shrug. Now imagine 563 permanent residents getting upgraded to life without parole. That’s not mercy, that’s a rebranding. Death row with better cable and a gym schedule. Funny how the budget always appears for the guys who never leave.
