Davidson County jurors bused to Knox County Criminal Court last week to consider the fate of 26-year-old torture slaying suspect Letalvis Cobbins spent six days hearing testimony, viewing gruesome photographs and listening to hours of attorney arguments and legal instruction.Cobbins' defense team of Scott Green and Kim Parton and prosecutors Takisha Fitzgerald and Leland Price had one last chance Saturday afternoon to argue their respective cases. Despite the unexpected testimony of Cobbins against his defense team's advice, neither wavered from their original positions on Cobbins' alleged role. Neither paid much heed to Cobbins' claim that Christian volunteered oral sex in hopes he would free her.

TWO defense attorneys paid for by taxpayers? What a waste of money. I hope this state has a death penalty.

Tennessee? Oh hell yeah. I'd say they're going to ride the lightening, but everybody uses the needle these days.

The death penalty loses its deterrent value to the extent that it is not:

1) Quick
2) Public

Our forefathers were MUCH smarter than the idiot liberals who have highjacked our society.

In any case, deterrance is a side benefit; the main reason for execution has alwasy been PUNISHMENT, and these beastly sub-humans deserve it in spades.

The needle is too good, the chair is too good, hangin’s too good.

Maybe the old Apache method of staking the scum down and building a fire on his stomach.

That would be appropriate.

Whatever method of execution is used, it’s AFTERWARDS that they’re going to find true justice. We shouldn’t brutalize ourselves by thinking up extra-painful ways to torture them to death. I’ll admit it’s kinda fun, but it’s the bad kind.

Maybe you could subcontract the job to Michael Vick.

Fault?

Not mine. Unless I’m expected to shoot on sight known liberal a$$wipe voters when they show up at the polls.

Let’s just say that I used the royal form of the personal pronoun “we” as in w’ll as opposed to y’all.
