13 is pretty old for a dad to dictate to a kid what their beliefs should be if he hasn’t been doing it well from the start. The kid may just stand up to s judge at some point and say...you crazy judges have been supporting under age kids rights to change their gender, never mind what their parents want, but they are then going to say I have to accept my father’s dictates as to my chosen religious beliefs should be?

It sounds like the dad is being boxed into a spiritual corner by God himself and he is fighting viciously against it!

What will the dad do to the daughter if she continues to pray for his soul anyway?

How old is the kid....? Mom might need to carry burdens but children often on their own will independently start to make moral choices and express concerns. We start teaching children right from wrong right from the start, often for their own protection. Ddon’t touch the stove, be polite, don’t steal from the store. Be respectful of your parents and grandparents. Grandma is sick , pray for her and let’s bring her flowers to help her feel better.

Kids are brought into moral training right from the start;that includes showing concern for family, parents and relatives. The girl is showing concern for her father’s soul, she can’t helpt it, she loves her dad. The dad is just feeling guilty and can’t handle it.

I have reasonable doubt concerning her innocence so I vote guilty!

John 5:45–47 – “For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

Jesus says one must believe Moses’ writings, including Exodus 20:11, which states: “For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it”

Was Moses reiterating the creation as having been over a literal 7 day period? I believe so and since Jesus said to believe Moses writings you cannot discount the creation story as being 7 literal days.

Yet you are right to say that however it all Happened, that it was God that was in the middle of it and thus, I otherwise have no other strong feelings about the matter.

They can try to make the man’s life hell but he can also turn the tables on them and sue them harrassment, illegal tampering of his right to decide what the verdict is...I mean I don’t know all the laws involved but if they went after this guy he can turn the tables on them and reveal who they are as well to those who feel the lady is guilty. They can protest him but he can make sure that others will protest them and will know who they are!

Yes and even if insane they should be executed or incarcerated for life. We just don’t have the mechanisms and treatments to reform these people and murder is so extreme that sentimental appeals to the heart are destructive to justice if we don’t at least isolate them from normal society forever.

I don’t like the idea that we can use prisons in a way to allow other prisoners to take care of murderers of children and abusers of children instead of society dispatching these evil people as a matter of state justice and legal policy. It just makes for more dangerous prisons for the guards who have to work in them.

From a mistrial standpoint, it’s not the biggest deal for the prosecution. They can try her again and she will stay incarcerated. If there is a mistrial if doesn’t really help the defense. The defense can’t get a quick resolution and a not guilty verdict would mean she couldn’t be tried again for murder. Because of the other possibilties listed by the judge , a manslaughter innocent verdict would mean she couldn;t be tried again for that as well. A not guilty by reason of mental defect verdict will get her a long time in a mental institution but not forever. So he’s pushing for that.

yes and it will set a precedent for every murderer to argue diminished capacity because ...”well I gotta be nuts if I is killing someone...so gibs me dat govmint disabily check now!”

It might be 11 members leaning too much into reasonable doubt on certain counts and one member saying...”I have no doubts, the defendent is guilty and should not even be breathing!”

I was reading something about that. 2014? Has the sentence been carried out or is he still languishing on death row somewhere awaiting his appeals?

I have to wonder of what charges the jury shares the most agreement with.I doubt they all just want to let her walk but i’ll bet it’s the mental impairment verdict which will send her to a mental hospital for a long time.

Meanwhile i just read a verdict against a Scizo man who was found guilty killing all 5 of his kids and it’s possibly the death penalty for him. Now i don’t know if the death penalty still has to be voted or if final sentencing by the judge will lead to death, but the jury found him guilty(in just 2 hours) in the case where the dealth penalty was not taken off the table.

How old is the kid?

I’ll bet the sister in law feels stupid and a fool!

I thought we were talking about the victim...nevermind then. I did wonder if the culprit was trans!

I was wrong...her last name was Italian...means “peaceful or agreeable. You can deduce that the latin root word for our english word “Appease or appeasing” is part of her name “Peacenti”. One who is agreeable.

Piacenti is an Italian last name and it is probably her married name. She could have an Italian or hispanic maiden name or a maiden name like smith. So she is caucasian more and likely...perhaps has some mediterranean if she was more Italian in origin.

Her married name was Hispanic but we don’t know her maiden name, if that was Hispanic, or northern or eastern european in origin.

You might want to look at the chosen color temp cast of your monitors...the pics don’t look overy orange to me.

The man may be safe from being pregnant but if the woman decides to keep the baby then he will be liable for paternity support. Which he should be!
