ID: "he will die in prison"

From the Twin Falls Times-News:

Nice pleads guilty - Killer of three children agrees to three life terms

Guilty. Guilty. Guilty.

Jim Junior Nice pleaded guilty three times in court this morning to three counts of first-degree murder; one for poisoning each of his three children with a lethal dose of sleeping medicine and rat poison... Nice pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the Dec. 20 deaths of 6-year-old twins Spencer and Justin Nice and 2-year-old Raquel Nice.

"I am sure I don't want a jury trial," Nice said.

By pleading guilty, Nice will serve three consecutive life terms with no parole or right to appeal his conviction, but he will not face the death penalty...

Credit should go to two lawyers of uncommon integrity: county prosecutor Grant Loebs and county public defender Marilyn Paul. Imagine the pressure they were under.
