        Remember Democrats are against executions of child rapist but believe it's ok to kill a child....also defense lawyers are scum of the earth and try to get pedophiles free via loop holes.... also Hillary Clinton was a defense lawyer who did the same thing....pic.twitter.com/XY5eDHGbJO

        Let's abolish the death penalty. It's unfair, inhumane, and, most importantly, controversial. (Death penalty can be completely replaced by life in prison without the possibility of parole.)pic.twitter.com/QW5x5WQQfs

        A horrible #crime, and over 30 years since it happened... we need to get our justice systems organized and real... the process is horrid. Mandatory sentences don't work, ridiculous sentences don't work, the LACK of rehab options doesn't work. What will? #rehab #prison #justice
