The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.

An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he’s in isn’t accommodating his vegan diet.

    How about a one size fits one solution?

    Lucy Letby was found guilty of murdering seven infants. Would you send her to prison?

                Her diary said that she enjoyed watching parents suffer and that she knew she was evil.

                What other factors would be relevant?

                    You said you would not send anyone to prison but cannot offer any alternatives.

                    Now let me tell you why a policy of not punishing people like Lucy Letby is a terrible idea. She would become a target of revenge-minded people, possibly even the parents of the infants she killed.

                    She would be tortured and/or killed by individuals who felt justice hadn’t been done. After all, if Lucy Letby doesn’t face serious repercussions for her actions, then her killer has no reason to worry either.

                    For better or worse, people demand retribution. Government must provide it, otherwise people will take matters into their own hands.
