Yeah, got your point about us paying for the appeal, but personally, in this case, if they vote death penalty, it'll be worth every penny.

Re your other post, I think in California he can switch lawyers on appeal if he wishes. I doubt he will. His lawyers haven't done bad with a bad set of facts.

FYI, the prosecutor's ears in me twitch when I hear that there was more evidence kept out at trial because it was unfairly prejudicial. I suspect in the penalty phase there's going to be at least more about child porn.

God Bless this jury and God protect the soul of Danielle. Luke: "Such as these are for the kingdom of Heaven."

Sometimes, after reading how these death penalty appeals drag on for years, if not decades, I often think it might be better to give the guy life without parole and give the victim's family the millions that are being expended by the state in the appeal process, including the cost of the defense........but that's what the opponents of capital punishment want....to make a travesty of the process.....so, the game contines afoot..
