Should serial killers be given due process?

#1 Post by Jamiet99uk » Thu Jun 08, 2023 9:51 am

If a human, for example Brainbomb, murders 10 to 20 people and hides their dismembered corpses under the floorboards in his apartment after harvesting their teeth to make weird necklaces and bracelets (supposedly), shouldn't that human, for example Brainbomb, be given a fair trial before a jury composed of a combination of bobcats and newborn babies?

Who is brainbomb? Is he a fake doctor or something?

I feel we should focus more on prevention rather than punishment. Latest
research have identified several key indicators of potential serial killers when they inhabit online forums.

1/ A tendency towards angry posting
2/ An inability to avoid taking part in arguments (not particularly useful here, admittedly, as that's most of us)
3/ A compulsion to change their avatar at ridiculously frequent intervals

Stay vigilant, guys!

I would prefer an all bobcat jury to a jury stocked with newborns.

In America, the jury must be composed of one’s “peers.” Do we think bobcats and newborns are truly brainbomb’s peers? I dare suggest all involved parties would take grave offense to this notion

Ok I updated my premise in light of your feedback, thank you.
