After arriving at my office on Friday morning I started to read the account of the trial of Cordel Farrington who was accused of murdering the four boys in Grand Bahama. I made it as far as the account of his murder of the first boy when I realized that I could not continue the account because I would be an emotional wreck.
When I found the courage to finish the account that evening I tried to imagine the fear and suffering that those four boys lived through and I cannot even imagine what the families must have endured because of that beast.
The judge then passed the sentence of life in prison and "hoped" that he would spend the rest of his natural life in prison. Hoped? Why not a sentence of life without parole? We all know that a death sentence in this country is a meaningless phrase. This is the same judge that I blogged about on this site in September '09 when he pardoned a man who had completed 18 years of his 50 year sentence for the murder of his girlfiend. As I commented at that time. He served 18 years, the girl is still dead.
Let us hope that this same judge does not get to pardon Cordel Farrington after a few years.
Am I the only one who believes that the system is insane?
