Reply To: Murdaugh Verdict – Circumstantial Evidence without Motive

Ujm
You are reaching. You will notice that in all my posts on the subject I made reference to violent offenders.
The only time I implied jail for stealing is because people were arguing that there was not sufficient evidence to convict him of murder. On that, I made the point that if you didn’t feel that you had enough evidence for a murder conviction than add on the fact that he is for sure a big thief and you can assuage your conscience for tossing him in jail.
But to answer your question, no, I am not a fan of jail for nonviolent offenders.
