Yesterday Edwin Hall pleaded guilty to kidnapping, raping, sodomizing and then strangling Kelsey Smith with her own belt.
By making a plea agreement, he avoided the death penalty.
Do you think his case should have gone to trial and tried for the death penalty, or do you think the plea-bargaining was the way to go - even it means life in prison?

Hall is the third from left.
