             The murderer has attacked society:

             § by depriving the family of the future support, guidance, and love of the victim
             Still it is the murderer's rights that the system takes every reasonable care to protect. Yes, I agree: Continue to take every reasonable care, but when it is determined beyond a shadow of a doubt that the murderer is guilty, then finish the process...or there is no point to the process, and the whole system of law is an ineffective joke!
