eh? I thought the SCOTUS just ruled recently a jury HAD to be involved in the sentencing of someone to death...
I think he should be charged with something else like violating her civil rights, kidnapping, ect..

so basicly this guy will get an easier sentence for murder than the girl who ran away from her wedding got.

"... a teenager beaten to death with a hammer ..." And the jury labeled it manslaughter? This needs a stupid jury alert; had to have been tried in a liberal blue zone. Perp should be getting the needle, not the exit door to the jailhouse.

As an attorney myself, I will tell you that from the inside out the whole system is rotten.

I wish the answer was yes, but it seems to me that in most instances, court is the last place you want to be.

Statutes of limitations exist for a reason, it's too bad this individual skated, but it sounds to me like the state just didn't have the evidence to convict him of murder.

No. This is a state that has an out of control SC, elects Lautenbergs and Corzines and produces Christine Todd Whitmans.

It doesn't make sense at all. If someone hits a person with a hammer, and kills him, and it's not self defense, then it must be murder. He's either innocent or guilty of murder.
There has to be something wrong with the system to allow this.
