"The actions by the defendant, in this case, show a need for evaluation, show a need for potential treatment, and that's going to go unnoticed, untreated if there's no evaluation done in this case," said Deputy County Attorney Marcus Beecher.
Judge Cooper denied the requests.
"It can seem unfair," Judge Cooper said, acknowledging the victim family's concerns. "It can seem like it's not enough."
Judge Cooper also acknowledged mitigating factors, such as Moon's lack of prior crimes, his military service, and work as a deputy marshal.
How is being a US Marshall a mitigating factor? If anything that makes it all the more important for a guy granted special power by the State to be held accountable since he poses an especially great threat.
