Too bad.

[Cicero]

Hang them all.

[Awestruck]

guess what.. lots of people have crappy childhoods and don’t grow up to be murderers or rapists or criminals of any kind.. lots of abused children grow up to be contributing members of society... this is not an excuse for outrageous crimes.

[lilylangtree]

And this means? Does this mean a person gets a free pass for cold-blooded murdering innocent human beings? Ah, no!

[Irish Rose]

It’s too bad. It really is too bad. But the fact that you’ve been mistreated doesn’t earn you leniency when you go mistreat others. This man murdered ten human beings - by his own choice. He deserves the consequences of that choice.

Last year, Maryland's appellate appeals court rejected Muhammad's request for a new trial in a sharply worded unanimous decision.

The Maryland Court of Special Appeals compared Muhammad to Jack the Ripper, saying he terrorized the Washington region in a fashion similar to ...the notorious Victorian serial killer.

many people have had terrible childhoods....it does not excuse them of cold blooded murder of innocents!!!

let the families of the victims have a say in the sentencing!!!

Too bad they didn’t beat Muhammed hard enough to make him room temperature.

The son of a b*tch lived into a very healthy adulthood as a mass murderer of infidel non-muslims.

[FormerACLUmember]

As an evil little monster, I am sure Mohammed deserved to be beaten.

Well, that’s sad. I hope they execute him as gently as possible.

[4buttons]

as a society, we have rules. some put themselves so far outside what is allowable, that the rest of us want them gone, and quietly. we don’t send them somewhere to be rehabilitated, we execute them, and are done with them.

Millions of children survived Hitler trying to kill them. Most of them grew up to become doctors, teachers, parents, helpers of humanity.

Muhammad's brothers and sisters would have testified that they and Muhammad were regularly beaten by aunts, uncles and grandparents while growing up in Louisiana

I take it none of his siblings grew up to be serial killers after all those beatings. Maybe it was his conversion to Islam that pushed him over the edge?

[jazusamo]

I doubt very much any of the people he murdered beat him, sharpen the needle!

[Larry Lucido]

Obviously not hard enough. Maybe he needs a real beating now.

[hosepipe]

Aw.. poor man.. NOW hang em high..

[ml/nj]

And this is relevant because?

The lawyer should be disbarred for wasting the Court's time.

[calex59]

Oh,yeah, that excuses him alright. It is ok to kill people if you were beaten as a child. What BS.

[ThreePuttinDude]

Muhammad's brothers and sisters would have testified that they and Muhammad were
regularly beaten by aunts, uncles and grandparents while growing up in Louisiana,
when he was known as John Allen Williams.

What do they mean would have testified? Wasn't it a big enough case for them
to get involved in at the time? This is total BS
