Then make a decision and give her life without parole. After all, every two years we can watch her getting her hair cut for Locks of Love.
I guess the foreman was against giving her the death penalty, otherwise why would he be going on like this?
They had to decide on the death penalty. How could that possibly be “unfair”?
I wonder what the result would have been if it had been a 27 year-old gangbanger that “capped” someone.
No one agonized over a life versus death decision for Travis Alexander.
A very stupid liberal mind. You take each case as they come. While I agree that Dahmer and Manson should have been executed, even before trial, their fate was subjected to the laws where they were tried (no death penalty?).
Dahmer got his. Manson, still mad as ever, is rotting in jail. At least Clinton didn’t give him a pardon. Now, as for Obama, he still might.
Cold blooded killers deserve to die. Why keep them around to be threats to jailers, prison medical staff, psychiatrists, visitors, and the public at large if they escape?
If the evidence is overwhelming that they committed a heinous, cold-blooded crime, ice them. Make them a footnote instead of a front page continuing story, a book, and then a movie.
Our children, family and friends, as well as the complete stranger, deserve to be protected from these animals.
Do we have a civilized, life respecting society for decent people, or do we serve as a hunting ground for feral animals and psychopaths?
We, as a society, have a right and a duty, to protect ourselves and others from killers, be they drug-addled street thugs, gangs, or upper economic class wackos.
It sounds like the “jury” was a bunch of drama queens having some kind of freaky and weird religious experience. Ohmmmm. Ohmmmm. Ohmmmmm.
....you should have told that to the prosecutor BEFORE being selected moron
The foundations our judicial system was founding on has been corrupted in the past five decades by dramatic egotistical showboating legal so called professionals. Justice as a result left the buildings. Political Agenda took it's place. The ideal of "Victim Perp" now rules sad too say.
Adam Smith - “Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.”
Typical liberal mindset..knew this guy was a lib the moment he started flapping his gums
How tough can it be to choose life when she REQUESTED it??
If she weighed 350 lumpy lbs. and had a pimply face and severe overbite, she would’ve gotten death. Especially if they saw her in the buff. But a budding porn star gets a second chance to beat the DP.
In all fairness, juries should only decide guilt or innocence, based on the facts of the case. Asking them to decide between life or death makes no sense, as it is a determination of law. This is why we have judges.
I had a feeling from the beginning that her statements about preferring NOT to spend her life in prison, and wanting death, since her whole clan were know for their “longevity”, and therefore she had maybe 60 years of prison to “look forward to”, was bogus, and just designed to make a jury do the opposite. THEN, pre-verdict she comes out with “I changed my mind, I want to live my life in prison, doing good things for others”. Though the jury presumably heard NONE of that , her entire testimony sort of encapsulated it: that’s the way to confuse and confound a jury, and that’s why to her chagrin, she wound up with a mistrial.
You could see the profoundly disappointed look on her face when the verdict was read.
This country is saturated with frikkin’ pantywaists.
[[Arias Trial: Jury foreman says life or death decision unfair]]
How unfair was it mr jury person? As unfair as Travis gettign his head nearly sliced compeltely off? Gettign stabbed IN THE BACK several times? Gettign shot? Bleeding heart idiots have no right servign on jury- peopell iek you are icnapable of meeting out justice-
sounds like somebody lied on their jury questionnaire...Actually I don’t believe the death penalty is a punishment for the simple fact that the only real punishment is they put you to sleep. Of course you never wake up, but where is the punishment in that? Maybe in hell, but for me they should be given something worse than death. Namely put in an unpadded cell and have this sound bite piped in 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the rest of their lives..........
