    I need to increase revenues! Does anyone know if this Howell guy’s agency is up for sale?

    Heck, I will buy it. I assume it is cheap. I will wait until the exact amount out of trust is refilled by the DOI.

    What could the deceased have found out that would have caused all of this to happen? If the agent was taking in $, and then not filing the polcies, he might have had his name in the paper and received a suspension and a fine. That is still not worth life in prison or the death penalty.

    Here’s a piece of human garbage who knowingly and intentionally murders a woman, then has the presence of mind to drive her body out to a remote area and dump it. Suddenly, the prosecution caves in and doesn’t think it can convict because he “probably snapped”? What kind of logic is that? Too bad if he snapped. Murder is murder. These bozos just saddled the taxpayers with the bill for lifetime room & board, meals, laundry, medical coverage, recreation, and education. Why don’t they just get him some counseling and write it off as him having a “bad day” and let him go? Something’s wrong with this picture.

    If they really want to punish him, they should make him continue to work in insurance, perhaps make him the risk manager while in prison.

    North Carolina Spends More per Execution than on a Non-death Penalty Murder Case
    The most comprehensive death penalty study in the country found that the death penalty costs North Carolina $2.16 million more per execution than the a non-death penalty murder case with a sentence of life imprisonment (. On a national basis, these figures translate to an extra cost of over $1 billion spent since 1976 on the death penalty.

    Since when did economics figure into the effect of deterrence and punishment? Doing right generally costs more than just doing something.

    Making sure the facts are right, every opportunity is presented and the law is clear costs money.

    If you really want to take the cheapest route, just let him go, that won’t cost us any more than we’ve already spent.
