A gardener and improvisational artist who attended the local Zen Center. Probably a very nice if somewhat delusional lady. The definition of a conservative is a liberal who got mugged. Too bad she won't have the opportunity for the political conversion.

And a liberal is a person too broad minded to take their own side in an argument.

Even an “improvisational artist” don’t deserve to die like that. Now Mimes on the other hand ...

I would like to see the statistics on how many white grandmothers are raped and or murdered by black males.

My impression is that it would be shocking.

Seriously, once convicted and sentenced, the murderer should face execution within 5 years. Hanging is passe, if appropriate, so the best means of execution is by firing squad.

1) Least number of potential appeals.
2) Inexpensive and needs no special equipment or expertise.
3) Effective.

The way this can be brought about is with a Republican POTUS and Republican congress, that the chairmen of the respective senate and house judiciary committees “streamline” the federal appellate process, none of which reforms are in any way unfair.

1) All death penalty appeals will go to the head of the federal docket, and continuances will be limited to one month each for the defendant and the prosecution, and one month at the discretion of the judge.

2) Federal judges will only be able to overturn a death sentence under very strict and limited circumstances of gross negligence or malpractice by trial court officers, jurors or law enforcement officers. Otherwise they may only return the case for trial court reconsideration, without instructions beyond the elements of reconsideration, with the trial court reconsideration being final.

3) States will be declared “competent authorities” to carry out executions, by means of their statute. And if these means are of longstanding practice, then they are not open to question.

Ideally, new death sentences will likely reduce the average wait time from 20 or more years to under 10, with a target goal of 5 or less, once the reforms are fully in place.

My husband and I were in an airport back in the 80’s and heard a page asking Irving Berlin to pick up a courtesy phone. We both looked at each other and asked “Did you hear that?” Funny.

So senseless. It speaks volumes about what a cowardly little punk he is in that he had to use a knife to overpower a 72 year old woman.

Hope he gets violated on a daily basis in prison. He acts like a punk, he might as well be made into one.

I guess Kamau just needed a car so that he could attend college classes, go to his 3 jobs (like a good Jamaican would), and take his mother to church on Sunday.

Obama should name him “Son of the Month” and adopt him as the “son I never had”.

In the real world Kamau(Camau was a place at the tip of the Mekong Delta I visited during the war), this piece of shit would have been executed on street when caught. But now he’s going to get free room, board, exercise and MTV from the people of California.

The innocent victim gets six feet of dirt, for eternity.

What is wrong with this picture besides the fact that California either doesn’t have a death penalty or never uses it, and is led by a wackjob leftist drug-addled ahole named Brown?
