[RiverDog]

Wow! And he did it on a slow news day!

It's ironic, as the wife and I just last night were talking about giving a convict that's serving a life sentence the option of ending their lives.

Wow! The whole story is such a bizarre one. Thanks for sharing.

And he was just aqquitted on the double murder charge and was appealing the first conviction.

And he may well have been, that whole gang thing happens inside as well as out. Not that it matters even a little bit to me whether his passing was his idea or not.

Interesting that due to abatement ab initio in the eyes of the law he dies an innocent man. I suppose good for his daughter at least.

Not in this day and age. I've seen maximum security prisons close up as I was born and raised in Walla Walla. No way was Hernandez's death an inside job. But I'll yield to Obi, who I believe is employed in that profession.

But I agree 100% with the second part of your observation.

What a waste.
Not just of football talent, but of lost lives and devastated families.

The Hernandez story speaks to the effect of self-entitlement combined with a gang mentality that our society looks up to & idolizes. This stupid f*ck thought he could get away with murder & he saved the state of Ma thousands if not millions of dollars by killing himself. Even better if it was perpetuated by other gang loyal convicts in the prison.

I've heard some interesting theories bandied about concerning Hernandez's motivation for committing suicide. It seems that in MA there's a bit of a quirky law that says if a person convicted of a crime dies before the appeal process is completed that the conviction is overturned. That could mean possible millions of dollars for Hernandez's heirs.

The cost to house maximum security prisoners pales in comparison to prosecuting a capital offense, which averages well over $1M. That amounts to my one and only objection to the death penalty.

The study found that 61 death sentences handed down in Oregon cost taxpayers an average of $2.3 million, including incarceration costs, while a comparison group of 313 aggravated murder cases cost an average of $1.4 million. Excluding state prison costs, the difference was even more stark: $1.1 million for death sentences vs. $315,159 for other cases. The study also found that death penalty costs were escalating over time, from $274,209 in the 1980s to $1,783,148 in the 2000s.

Hernandez saved the MA taxpayers millions of dollars by taking himself out of the gene pool.

We had a saying in Corrections when a jerk killed himself: another mutt dies in Mutt land, 5 o'clock, time to go home.
