You've just illustrated the issue rather succinctly. The purpose of a trial is to asses his guilt or innocence. Until you've assesed that you can't start assesing what the apropriate punishment should be. If you've pre-judged him before the trial (which you clearly have) then the trial is invalid.

No it isn't. And yes he should be given the same rights in so far as the right to a fair trial is concerned because, as I said above, the purpose of the trial is to asses guilt or innocence. The yardsticks for measuring that are universal. It has nothing to do with the nature of the crime or the background of the accused.

America must not aproach this trial as an opportunity to exorcise it's demons. If, and only if, a fair trial finds him guilty (and I think it probably would from the evidence I've seen) then exorcise away and the world will support you.
