Those who don't know the truth about human nature, and the reason for the rights we extend to all (or should), are in a race to the bottom when it comes to dealing with the surviving, soon-to-be-charged marathon bomber.
There is no principle of our law that says we base the rights we extend to the accused upon the gravity of the offense, their minority status, or the quality and quantity of the evidence against them – nor should there be. Such a course degrades justice for all.
