What would make someone want to kill a pregnant woman? What is wrong with the world, if you are thinking those thoughts, just kill yourself and do the world a favor.

I do know why they aren't going for the death penalty on this case. Proving Aggravated Murder is harder than proving first degree murder. The Prosecutor most likely wants to go for the charge he can most easily prove to get the defendants sent to jail (possibly for life). The last time someone on death row was actually killed in Washington was in 2001. There are eight others on Death Row, one since 1991.
