NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- The director of a Christian music tour on Tuesday gave an impassioned plea to a jury to spare the life of a Connecticut man convicted of killing a woman and her two daughters, saying the man is remorseful and will someday need to explain his actions to his own daughter.

Mark Middlebrooks testified Tuesday in the sentencing phase of Joshua Komisarjevsky that Komisarjevsky was an "outstanding" member of the group, which traveled the United States and Western Europe in 1997 when he was about 17. Komisarjevsky worked as a lighting technician for the group.

I agree, the killer has value as worm bait. Bury him alive so he can have a little more time to be remorseful.

For each and everyone of us, actions have consequences...so does this killer’s. By his actions, he deserves the ultimate penalty. End of subject.

“Value”? MAYBE as a deficit. In the negative, sub-par,
worthless or worse...sub-human, if you will.

Gotta scrape that sh*t off of the shoes of civilization and polite society and carry on.

It wouldn’t be the first time and it won’t be the last.

Yeah, give his brain to science. See if they can figure out what went wrong in it.

This type of person makes me think Frederich Nietzsche may be right.

That “Christian” ought to brush up on Scripture:
“Whosoever shall shed man’s blood, his blood shall be shed: for man was made to the image of God. “—Genesis 9:6

Conn. killer's 'life has value'

Well of course it does. If he doesn't have AIDS, hepatitis or some other prohibitive disease, they could harvest his organs, blood and body parts.

They they could take what was left over, let it dry and use it as fuel to heat a homeless shelter for an evening.

Just think how much good that would do for society.

Having been abused as a child does not make a monster less of a monster. Until we can use the wayback machine to change the past the monstrosity of the monster is cannot be altered.

90 days?

Pretty harsh.

How's about 30 days in the electric chair?

“Josh’s life has value because I know who he is beneath all the circumstances,” Middlebrooks said, adding Komisarjevsky has a responsibility to seek redemption.
Middlebrooks also said Komisarjevsky will need to answer to his 9-year-old daughter someday when she asks, “What the hell were you thinking?”

Then this piece of trash, Josh, says he blames the father for not fighting harder.
God, how can one write music when one’s head is so far up where the sun does not shine???

Of course this Music Director fails to ask the question- The two victims that this creep burned alive will never get to have children let alone ask them a question.
This buffoon will always be a buffoon whos music I will never listen to. Sorry, I’m for an “eye for an eye” on this one- Burn them both.

I’m thinking...prep him for surgery, give him a general anesthetic, and then just take him apart.

Ah, another fake Christian who thinks that the Gospel is about the warm fuzzies. Why was this queen allowed to even speak at this hearing?

Absolutely. What this singer is promoting is easy believism, which has nothing to do with Christian doctrine. First of all, it’s none of this guy’s business. It is up to those who were harmed to forgive, by God’s grace. Forgiveness, though, does not mean a person does not pay the consequences for his actions. The state must execute him for justice to prevail.

I agree, his life has value. But it is just enough to pay for his crime with it.

Seriously, how can any “christian” be so insensitive to the horror that this man committed? Seriously.

But send him to God. He will know how to value his life.
