Why do convicted criminals get front-page coverage - not once but repeated times?
The last thing I want to read about is the sad story of someone who chose to put himself on Death Row. I'm referring to the recent article about an inmate on Death Row.
It would be nice if you ran an article on how the victims of criminals have overcome their pain and anguish to lead normal lives?
Just once I would like to see criminals treated like they treated their victims. Maybe then they would at least hesitate before committing a crime.
