One straw man argument after another... We're talking about a bank robber. We're talking about crimes committed during the robbery (preventing his accomplice from getting medical care, which resulted in his accomplice's death) being added to his list charges.

And I don't disagree with you! I hate injustice like you're referring to as well. But injustice is not some exchangeable capital. We can't correct one by neglecting to punish another.

Having a man locked up for 100 years for robbing two stores without actually hurting anyone is hardly justice. And the case of the bank robber is also hardly justice.

And it seems that this type of systemic overcompensation is exactly what is going on in your justice system.

I wish that persecutors would use same zeal to persecute all the crimes. Including police crime and white collar crime. Then, perhaps it would dawn on you that such random and strict distribution of justice is no justice at all.

I think you've confused this thread with the OP's article. My comment was in reference to a bank robber who was charged with the murder and kidnapping of his accomplice when he ran away from police with his friend (who was shot). His friend died and he was charged with robbery (the original crime) as well as the subsequent crimes, as is policy in American juris prudence.
