True, but you see, that wouldn't be justice. Whether it would be Divine justice, I won't even get into here: but WE are charged with exacting justice in the case of murder (Genesis 9:6). Here's a classic case of deliberate, premeditated, no-doubts-about-who-did-it murder. It is an index of this nation's spiritual decline that it can't simply weep for the childre, weep for the perpetrator, pray for her conversion, and execute her.

I can't argue about it, Dan, because I think she should have gotten the needle, too. But I wasn't on the jury, and they had to decide (and they obviously had ALREADY decided) whether she would be a danger to society, and 10 of them had a reasonable "doubt" that she would be...they had to follow the law also. It's easy for us to be armchair jurors, but I wouldn't want to be in their shoes either.
