First off, like pretty much every one else here I think Aaron shouldn't have been prosecuted in the first place.

> Using these kind of plea-bargaining tactics when you know the suspect is suicidal is cruel.

If your point is that you should prosecute someone who is suicidal differently from someone who is not, wrt prosecuting them then I'd strongly disagree.

If you do prosecute them less severely then where is the line? What about pregnant women, stress can cause miscarriges. what about old people, stress can cause them to have heart attacks What about overweight people, stress can cause them to die from a heart attack.

What if someone is faking being suicidal? You can never know for sure until they actually die, if they attempt suicide and survive then it might just be a hoax to get out of prosecution.

I think the world is better served when everyone knows they will be treated equally.

Thinks like this make me think that some is really rotten in this system. Some people think that is justified, fair and right to menace the life of an innocent baby if you got the robber mother in jail?.

There is really a need to say that this idea is a monstrosity?

Should be noted that the system is _obliged_ to care for the life of this baby?

"What if someone is faking being suicidal?"

Absolutely nothing

Is not so easy to fake this for much time... in the end this man or woman will reach the same place in front of a jury, but anyways is a better choice that the other option, that you _help_ to someone to be a suicidal.


It really sounds like your trolling me but i'll bite...

Being pregnant should not, under any circumstances, give you a get out of jail free card.

I can't believe I even have to state this and I have a hard time believing that you actually think this should be the case.

I can't parse this into a coherent sentence. I'm guessing english isn't your first language. No harm done, i'll move on.


not trolling intended, seriously

> Being pregnant should not, under any circumstances, give you a get out of jail free card.

Of course, but this is not what i'm saying...

You can't wait, let's see,... six months?, eight months? You can't wait a year until the baby is born and someone can care or him? You really need to put this pregnant woman in jail Just Right Now?

Even if the proccess could be so stressful for the mother that the life of the foetus could be in danger?
