63. Too bad our state (TEXAS) DOES NOT ALLOW "Life w/no parole"
It was just voted down again!
And you know why - so that the only option jurors are left with is the death penalty or ultimately putting a criminal back on the streets.

This issue has repeatedly been brought to the state legislature and they vote it DOWN EVERY TIME!

They would rather kill people than keep them locked up for the rest of their lives.

Most jurors also know that in TX, inmates usually serve only 25% of their sentences. So, they are intentionally left with the most horrible of choices - by state design.
