"GLAD for some of our Judicial System. Keep them there."

They will. Long enough to determine there's no grounds for a hearing. Then they're out.

It doesn't matter really. The feds can't keep crime out of the prisons, so why waste money on "the system?" Gotta agree with 'The Eternal', an armed society is a polite society. The Swedes don't seem to have a crime problem, yet every house has at least one "assault rifle" (ohnoes!!!!).

I'm just curious. If someone is convicted of murder, and gets 50 years, and serves all 50 years, should they be released? If not, why not? If so, why so?

Think carefully about your answer. Now think of these prisoners. They were convicted and served some of their sentence. If our system allowed them to accrue time off for good behavior, and that shortened their sentence to the point where their time is up, should they be released?

If the former is different from the latter, I'd like to know how they are different. In both cases, they played the hand that was dealt to them. What legal reason do we have to keep either prisoner (in the above examples) in prison?

Let them out. We spend too much money on the prison system. Everyone buy a gun if need be instead of paying for people to stay in prison on our money.

GLAD for some of our Judicial System. Keep them there.

This topic is ridiculous their time is up...let them loose so they can be locked up again IF they commit another crime. As for all you that are so frantic about this topic...open your eyes there are criminals around you everyday and you are to blind to see them. Letting these 25 loose will not change the DOC system. It is broken and so is the NC government. I Should be governor....LOL. I couldnt possibly be worse than Purdue. Merry Christmas to all good night!

"they already do the 3 things you stated 1st is probable cause and the 2nd is possible and the 3rd well we all know the govermaent does what they want to reguardless so whats your point or maybe we should just reright the dictionary on what the meaning of words are life should mean exactly what it says life but then agian illegal dosent mean anything either and theres a prime example of the goverment doing what they want to !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

No, they do NOT. Probably cause is much different from the a random search. If they have probable cause, they have probable cause and that is written into the law. If they kick in your door without probable cause, in a random search, that is NOT legal. And anything they find in such a search cannot be used against you in court.

You people just don't get it. You're like a mob with torches and pitchforks with COMPLETE disregard for the law. It's disgusting and frankly, more scary than any of these people behind bars, in a different way.

"Whatever, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear"

Other than a police state.

"Our laws have always be generalized in the wording "left open for interpretation" that is wht we have amendments to said laws."

Not all of them. If you were right, we'd just have a big free-for-all for a government.

TO ME LIFE MEANS LIFE!!!!! ANOTHER DEFINITON FOR LIFE IS YOU GO IN ALIVE YOU LEAVE DEAD!!!! HELLO THESE PEOPLE NEED TO STAY IN PRISION B/C IF THEY HAVE KILLED BEFORE THEY WILL PROBABLY KILL AGAIN!!!!!!!!! arljsl

Cut back on your caffeine intake.
