Good morning, jackv and welcome!
Thanks, LL!!
I am not sure how I feel about this verdict. I think there is way too much worrying about repercussions anymore and too much emotion in what we do as a country. The right thing is the right thing, regardless, and I just think we come off as weak by sparing his life because "we are better than that" ????. Please....
The people who'd have made him a martyr at being put to death are probably the ones who will hold someone hostage for his release.
I think I'd prefer he'd been put to death. No fuss no media. Just be done with it.
