Life Without Parole and Pretrial Competency Make Sense

We caution against broad age based rules without mitigating factors.

Jeffrey Eller argues for a nonracial screening model modeled on Israel’s approach, using targeted questions and a robust watch list system. He cites cases like Richard Reid and the 9/11 hijackers to support linking databases for names, spellings, and IDs while avoiding ethnic criteria.
