"Anti-death penalty here, too.
I couldn't reconcile it with my faith."
That tends to happen with folks whose Bible only has 1 Book - the New Testament. Good idea to read the whole Canon of our Faith. You might find that reconciliation you need.

That makes two of us but we are definatly in the minority here.Too many innocent people have been put to death, too many people convicted and on death row and later found out to be innocent and released. But, I suspect I am preaching to the choir here.

Peterson has no idea what's in store for him.

The last guy removed thusly in California was in 1996:Calfornia's executed 8 men since Bonin. The last was in January 02. As executions go, California's pretty much in the middle of the states. I think we're like 26th. We do it often enough to say we've got it. Some states claim to have it but haven't executed anyone.

elegant Newtonian -- for every action there is an opposite reaction Not simply revenge - Justice. That's what it is. Appropriate. Fair. Just.
But people are saying that this is just the beginning, not the end of it. They conservatively estimate the appeals will cost as much or more than the trial to date, which has cost millions, and that it will stretch out for years. At least it'll give the FOX and CNN and NBC crews some more live stand-ups shots in the tents. Full employment.

I couldn't reconcile it with my faith. You're not Christian?

Onward to the Robert Blake trial. Hopefully he'll be the next murderer to go down.

Too many innocent people have been put to death Then you should be in favor of Peterson's eventual execution. His would be the exception to what you see as some 'rule'. It would show that Justice CAN be done, sometimes; and not to dismiss the legitimate complaint that some went to their execution innocent of the charges. Not the case, here. And you don't sound glad for it, in that way.

What, you don't believe Blake's "Oh, I think I left my gun inside. Oh, here it is! Oh, damn, someone shot my con-artist wife while I was looking for my gun. Oh, well, it couldn't have been me, my gun was here, you all saw that" defense?

I was really hoping for life w/out parole simply because I wanted Scott to have to fear for his life every second he was mixed and mingled with the worst in prison. Now, he'll have his own cell and will be isolated from the Bubbas who would make his prison stay much more uncomfortable.

Was that "BIG" John Holmes, who was Earl Hanson's former client?;)
To: Quix
I strongly agree.
Why? Geragos didn't help S.P. in any way. In fact, many (including moi) think he did a sorry job. All Geragos did was suck the life savings from his pathetic and gullable parents, but then again that's what trial attys do when defending pond scum.

That's the point, I thought.
Pond scum scumming scum off the top of the schlocky parent's retirement fund.
That's what I thought I was agreeing to.

My Bible has 27 books of the New Testament, much of which refutes the old eye-for-an-eye doctrine. I know I'm in the minority here well. It is exceedingly difficult, but I too cannot reconcile this judgment with my understanding and practice of Christ's teachings.
To: BJungNan
Peterson won't die in my lifetime. Tonight, I heard that he will join over 600 people on California's death row.
Consider how much time and effort it will take to reduce the line to where Peterson is up front.
Perhaps California's death row needs a MOAB.
