0:00.0 | You know, there's so many interesting things about this, and especially in regards to Koeberger, |
0:06.3 | because so many people were upset that he did not get the death penalty, but instead he got four |
0:13.1 | life sentences without the possibility of parole. And when that happened, I was actually okay with it, |
0:20.4 | and I spoke about this on the show numerous times with Mike, because to me, the death penalty has been hijacked by politics. |
0:29.4 | And even if he would have gotten convicted after a trial and been sentenced to the death penalty, the chances of him getting it would still be slim. It could be |

And the punishment phase, the prosecution has to go back over and reiterate all of the aggravating circumstances. He killed more than one person. These were young people. It was done in a torturous way. |
1:47.1 | It shows a complete disregard for human life, a depraved indifference to human life. All of these things |
