    It’s a bit absurd to me to compare the charges to the end result.

    What are some examples of school shooters in a capital punishment state (or who were charged federally) whose prosecutors did not try to pursue a death sentence?

        Right, I was asking for a school shooter whose prosecutors did NOT try for death sentence. That’s the weird implication made by the post’s image.

      The age/race/economic level/crimes/charges/verdicts graph is one that is…intriguing in a scientific sense and likely necessary to show in crayon picture form to the next administration, but god DAMN do I not want to be the statistician that researches all that.
