Hopefully the prosecutors have brains, and pursue the death penalty. Lets just hope the prosecutor isn't one of those soft anti-death penalty types.

"GLENDALE, Calif. - A suicidal man who allegedly parked his SUV in the path of a commuter train and triggered a horrific wreck that killed 11 people was charged with murder and could face the death penalty, authorities said Thursday."

If they do, the whole thing will get really funny if you've got a grisly sense of humor. Platoons of lawyers will file a string of appeals and spend hundreds of hours arguing that he should be kept alive, AND THE WHOLE THING HAPPENED BECAUSE HE WANTED TO KILL HIMSELF!!

Either way it is a pity he didn't resist and get killed in the process of an arrest because now a bunch of the taxpayers' money is going to be wasted. Death penalty of not. But I think we should give him a two week trial, and then take him out to the back putting him infront of a firing squad.

I heard they caught a guy who was trying to do a copy cat suicide attempt. The fool parked his car on the train tracks and was waiting for the train.

honestly, i don't see why we should charge the guy with murder.

if we give him due process, we'll find out why he wanted to kill himself. a good defender will, well, argue that he was beside himself (and his car) at the time.

the choice is clear:
1. he obviously wanted to commit suicide. therefore, we should call up ol' doc kevorkian, and give this guy a little helping hand. good for all you liberal snots out there who want to have clear consciences without capitally punishing the guy.

2. he obviously wanted to commit suicide. therefore, we keep him in a lockbox on permanent suicide watch, forcing him to stay alive and perhaps watch coverage of this little snafu of his on repeating cctv. good for all you vindictive conservatives who want to punish this guy for the rest of his miserable life.

Don't see why? Why should he be let to live? Just give him what he wants. Plus 20 years behind bars waiting for the death penalty (typical in liberal California). You think this guy should get off the hook for killing 11 people? I don't ****ing think so. A life sentence is stupid and a slap on the wrist for this ****.

you guys really don't care about this guy do you? He had a drug problem. He deserves our pity. He can be reformed.

okay enough of that. I tried being a bleeding liberal, just isn't working. But I'm against the death penalty. Too expensive. Just put him life in prison.

I hear life in prison is more expensive then the death penalty. Especially here in shithole California.

Well the university is okay here besides I happen to be a resident. The only place in California I really like is San Diego. But hey, Texas's economy is growing quite well.

I still don't understand charging him with murder.

And I really don't see what's wrong with the two solutions I've suggested.

I thought it would require intent to qualify as murder. I think a defense attorney would have an easy time convincing people this guy did not intend to hurt anyone else (only himself). I believe manslaughter does not have an intent requirement.

11 counts of manslaughter?? He's never going to see blue sky again.

Plus, once the inmates find out what he did, he'll be just slightly above child-molester in the prison pecking order. A fat, smelly cellmate named Bruno and the picture's complete.
