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.
Would you punish her or sentence her at all? If so, how?
I honestly don’t know enough about the situation.
She murdered seven infants. What more information would you need in this case?
motive? mental state? all kinds of other factors might be at play.
Her diary said that she enjoyed watching parents suffer and that she knew she was evil.
What other factors would be relevant?
i don’t know: i don’t know the case. im not trying to litigate it in the comment section about sam bankman-fried, either. you asked, i answered. you just don’t like my answer. i don’t care to be interrogated any more.
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.
i think i prefer taking matters into my own hands.
You may trust your own judgement, but do you trust the judgment of literally everyone in the world?
Recently a woman was killed by someone who was offended by her rainbow flag. Last year, a teenager killed a boyfriend who wanted to break up with her.
Today, those are the actions only of unstable people. But they would become the norm if you allow everyone to be judge, jury, and executioner. How long do you suppose an LGBTQ person would survive in Idaho?
