sure the death penalty should have been taken off the table so early on.
Then again, I'm not a lawyer. And, looking at it with the cold,
unemotional eye of economics, this is a helluva lot cheaper than going to a full
capital murder trial.</FONT></DIV>

is unbelievable on many levels. Why in the world did Bill Thompson
agree/negotiate to this plea bargain? What was his reasoning? The
electorate should demand and explanation from him for this decision. Why
is arson, a property crime, treated in a more punitive manner than
murder? And please, don’t parse words and legal terminology about the
difference between murder and manslaughter. Dead is dead, and the
actions of Silas Parks were deliberate and intentional as the initial charge
indicated. This is a sickening miscarriage of justice and an
embarrassment to Latah County.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
