I thought people were allowed to have a trial before a jury of their peers.

I *think* Dorner was guilty, and probably deserved the death penalty. But as an American, he had the right to his day in court.

His murder was criminal.

Respectfully, he would have had his day in court had he surrendered instead of shooting two more deputies and killing one of them.

He chose not to have his day in court, he refused his due process as guaranteed by the Constitution.

When you open fire on police you've made a conscious decision to surrender your right to due process. So in case you forget, when you are stopped for any infraction of the law, don't open fire on the officer or he may take it as a sign that you are attempting to kill him and he'll return fire.

His murder? Don’t tell me you are falling for the conspiracy theories that are floating around. What makes you think he was murdered? He shot himself
