Well, it sounds like we should have Mitch over to a Punawebber's house so that we can get to know him better. In the meantime, I do think these principles pertain: 1) Plea bargains are an essential part of the justice system, everywhere and not just in Hawaii County. They are entered into for a number of reasons. If we reduce plea bargains, we must pay more to house prisoners. 2) A plea bargain is usually not appropriate where the crime shocks the senses and the evidence is great, even if there has been no prior conviction. If there has been a prior conviction, it would be doubly inappropriate.
It looks like we all need to get our facts straight though (me included) before drawing any conclusions about a candidate. We also need to have a better idea of who all is running. As I just got here, I have not idea about that.
I think we need a candidates forum of some kind. And this isn't it.
