This VA jury was "soft-hearted" under the circumstances. I wonder if it had heard the Terri Schindler Schiavo case in FL if it would have been as sympathetic.
To: Theodore R.
If Malvo didn't deserve a death sentence, then who does? More than one jury has been sympathetic (notably in NYC) towards terrorist killer and toward those who kill Jews.

Life in prison with no chance of parole.... means he can't get out until Hilary is elected (tip o'the hat to Abe Simpson)
To: Theodore R.
The jury had mush for brains. Now Malvo can plot from prison, maybe even be pardoned or escape and inflict another reign or terror. Or perhaps he will meet his maker in prison such as Dahmer did.
One announcer wondered why that particular community was chosen for the trial since juries there allegedly have never given criminals ever the death sentence.

Do you think this same "compassionate" jury would, however, starve and dehydrate Terri Schindler so that her "loving husband" could carry out "her wishes"? Sometimes is seem that in American "justice" the only thing worse than arbitrary judges is arbitrary juries.

This jury absolutely failed in it's duty and responsibility. I'm ashamed of them.

Was this jury from an area known for avante-garde liberalism, or was it full of minorities?

I am ashamed of the jury also. I'm wondering if any of them will now go on TV to ask for leniency for terrorists.
I suspect this same jury would have pronounced the death sentence for Terri Schindler. Terri's case is a true horror story, with a crazy judge saying she should be starved to death to protect her privacy or some such nonsense.

Is there a chance he will be tried for the other murders in VA and AL and LA?
I think in the long run he will get the nighty-night shot.

He was the shooter for God's sake. How can you not kill him. This country has gone to hell.
Maybe they'll try him again in Alabama, and do it right.

I hope he will be tried in Alabama. I would like to know more about this jury.

Is there a chance he will be tried for the other murders in VA and AL and LA? Is the Pope Catholic? Does a bear crap in the woods?
To: Theodore R.
Malvo Spared the Death Penalty...for the time being.
Once he gets out, he may murder another half dozen people. Maybe then he will get the death penalty.
The jury was probably thinking that far ahead, or more likely they were idiots.

Malvo is a terrorist!
The case didn't belong in a courtroom to be heard by his "peers." American justice is a sham and a failure!

The youngest juror, Angelique Nedera, said she favored the death penalty for Malvo. I haven't seen any comments by those who wanted his life spared and give him a second chance to terrorize us again.
