Washington had AIDS when he entered the state prison, said Danny Craig, Richmond County's district attorney. They apparently fear lawsuits for breach of privacy by Washington's relatives. State legislators are changing the state's death penalty. The electric chair is on the way out, lethal injection is on the way in. Lawmakers should be equally concerned about crime victims who may live under a death sentence each day.
Rapists invade the privacy of their victims in horrific ways.
To claim that they are still entitled to this precious right makes a mockery of justice and compounds their crime.
