Theodore Kaczynski

I am appalled that the Justice Department has refused to accept the life-in-prison proposal by Theodore Kaczynski (Dec. 30). The man appears to be brilliant and creative but a very mentally disturbed individual.

Life is prison is fair, prudent and protective of society. Why should we spend millions to try to get him a death penalty that would then be followed by years and millions more in appeals?

Let’s use the money for the good of the community rather than the aggrandizement and self-congratulations of the attorney general, prosecutors and investigators.
