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.

Daily Horoscope for December 20

Cancer

If you thought yesterday was fraught with tension the temperature rises a few notches again today, as Mars turns retro in your house of finances and values. What's eating you? Maybe you're annoyed because your spare time is being eroded by duties that are weighing heavily on your shoulders. You might also be miffed by the flippant attitude of a certain person who you think should be taking life a lot more seriously. Calm down or you'll blow a gasket.
