When Ashlee Buzzard stood in court and entered a not guilty plea, outrage followed almost instantly. For many watching from the outside, especially in a case involving the death of a child, that moment felt unbearable. How could someone who’s been accused of something so horrific not plead guilty? We’ve seen this same reaction play out repeatedly, not just in the Buzzard case, but in other emotionally charged prosecutions like the Rob and Michelle Reiner homicide and the Daybell murders, cases where the severity of the crime collides head-on with the realities of constitutional process.
Let’s explore why guilty pleas almost never happen at the arraignment, why that moment in court is procedural and not moral, and then, why demanding speed in cases like this often undermines the very justice people are asking for. Profiling Evil breaks down how life sentences actually work in the United States and why “life without parole” doesn’t always mean what people think it means. How does the United States compare to the rest of the world when it comes to permanent punishment, are we an outlier, and what does all of this mean for victims, families, and a justice system trying to balance accountability with constitutional limits? This video is not about sympathy. It’s about understanding the system we rely on to speak for the dead.
