I am usually all for the death penalty and 15 yards for roughing, but this one doesn’t seem quite right. She solicited for murder but didn’t actually commit a murder...death penalty seems a bit much. Life in prison would be more fitting I guess...
Oh...too late I guess...LOLZ.

What she did was worse than doing it herself.
Are you kidding? She was worse than the person who pulled the trigger. She was not only a killer, but a coward. To hell with her.
I respectfully disagree. That's a distinction without a difference.
She set up the situation so the visually challenged young man, who she was screwing, could creep up on and murder her defensless husband while she laid in bed next to him. That certainly sounds cold blooded; but maybe she was just misunderstood. She earned the needle. Hopefully, she made her peace with The Lord.
Her weapons were money, an address and an unlocked door. Those men would not have been there without her instigation.
I don’t think it matters that she didn’t pull the trigger. Because of her evil actions 2 men are dead. I think her execution is the correct action for the state to take.
I agree with you. Now those guys that killed that family..they should fry. It just seems it’s doled out so arbitrarily. I used to be for it, but after watching THE INNOCENCE PROJECT about people falsely accused of a crime, several who were on death row, I’m now against it.
Exactly, Charlie Manson never killed anyone, he just told people to do it, and that asshole is still alive.
The victims are just as dead and would still be alive if she hadn't "solicited" for murder. The reason the law says the person paying for the crime is just as guilty is so that people won't do things like that. Death is a deterrent, believe it or not. Hopefully the two a**hats she hired to kill were also killed in turn.
As for her mental capacity, if she had the brains to dream this up she can't be too "diminished". I know you didn't mention that but the article did and I thought I would throw it in, gratis.
I disagree. Teresa Lewis not only moved to have her husband and step-son murdered, but she involved three other people and took them all down with her.
If she had done nothing, her husband and step-son would be alive and those three other people (the men she contracted with and her teenage daughter who she prostituted out to the two men) wouldn't have done any of what they did. She set the entire process in motion. Without her, this specific series of crimes would not have occurred.
I am in favor of the death penalty in general, but often have problems with it in specific cases. In this case, it was proper and fair. Slaughtering family members for money is a big no-no.
You really see a serious difference between hiring two guys to kill your innocent family members and shooting them yourself? They aren’t any less dead and the intent isn’t any less evil.
