They aren't defending murderers, they are defending rights.

defending the rights of murderers

People who are charged with murder have a trial in front of a judge and jury. The purpose of this judge and jury is to decide whether the right to live freely in society is taken away (and in some cases right to life at all, but that's a whole other can of worms) The judge and jury do not decide that this person now has no human rights at all and that they can be treated however this person or that person sees fit.

Once time is served, this human is now a part of society again. But you think we can just arbitrarily remove rights as you see fit? That's a slippery slope....

and the rest of us are welcome to our opinion that once someone becomes a murderer we don’t care about them or their rights.

i’m sure if someone killed someone you love then you wouldn’t be so quick to stand up for the rights of murderers.

Actually my cousin was murdered in Montana. He was shot in the head, so your theory's invalid.
