I understand the premise behind why they dropped them and I know that $$ came into that decision. It bothers me though that he will not be held accountable for these crimes.
UPDATED 08/24/11 11:01 a.m. WHEATON, Ill. (CBS) — DuPage County prosecutors dropped two cases Wednesday against convicted serial killer Paul Runge, because he cannot be sentenced to any greater penalty. As WBBM Newsradio's Nancy Harty reports, Runge, 41, once of Carol Stream, had been awaiting trial in the murder of two sisters from Hanover Park in July 1995.

The lawyer says that he does not care about the “details” of the case.
I guess all the dead and injured are just details. I guess all the other people damaged or touched by these crimes are just details that this lawyer does not care about.
He says he cares about the “law”. I call B.S. He does not care about the law, he care about making a name for himself. He is the type of person that would fight for a pedophile to be able to keep his daycare center job on a technicality.
If Manson does get out I say he has to be under house arrest AT this lawyers house! That way not only will he be confined with Charlie, all the disassociated messed up people who are attracted to Manson can go to his home.
To claim that the trial was unfair because Charles Manson did not represent himself is insane. If he had been allowed to that would have been a reason…
I heard that the lawyer is also claiming that because there was no mistrial after the jury learned Nixon said Manson was guilty is another reason Manson deserves a new trial… Manson was the one that showed the jury the headlines! He should NOT benefit from his own bad deeds.
This a shame. The public’s tax money is going towards this and it is ridiculous!
One day I will go into my thoughts and ideas of Charles Manson and his so-called ‘family’. Let’s just say for now that I believe their original sentences should have been applied!
