> In our country every single person even if they confessed to the crime is allowed a legal defense

If the Constitution is a living document, then maybe it's time to re-evaluate that section.  If this guy had killed my children, my parents, and my siblings, then confessed, and we had him on camera doing it, then why should he be allowed a legal defense team?

I'm not saying he shouldn't have a legal defense, I'm seriously asking why he deserves one?  Nowadays we have security cameras that show him doing it - when the Constitution was written they didn't, and wanted to be sure to hear everyone's side of the story.  He killed people that were 100% innocent - if they were your loved ones, your best friends, would you want to hear more of what he has to say?  Would you want to pay to keep him alive?
