“Did this beast commit the murders?”
He didn’t actually commit the murder for certain. The guy who shot the couple after abducting them was executed in September. But Bernard set the car they were locked in (trunk) on fire. No where in the articles I have read said that they died from gunshot. This is an effort to destroy evidence and try to soften the act he was involved in by smearing the decision.
It seems strange that jurors are being used to try to do this when they made a recommendation years ago as a jury does not make the death decision, the judge does. Jury only recommends, not sentences.
The other problem I have here is they are trying to blame Trump for executions applied by the states. Out of the 29 states that still retain the death penalty, eight of them had executions in 2018. A total of 25 executions. Texas had the highest number of executions with a total of 13, all of which were men and none of them had anything to do with Trump. It just never ends does it?

These, along with several earlier, are federal executions from federal charges.
