Holmes should have gotten the death penalty. He avoided it because of one liberal (I assume) juror who refused to vote for the death penalty. if there ever was someone who,should have gotten it, it was Holmes. He murdered 12 people and injured 70 others.
This guy Dexter, also deserves death. If these idiots protest, they are protesting liberal idiocy, not white racism. They would never see it that way because they’re morons.
I'm really not aware of the facts on either of the two cases so I don't really have a specific opinion. But your comment above hit home with me in one respect.
If the laws of a state allow a death penalty case to be brought, then the jury selection should screen for the types you mention. My feeling is that a liberal zealot will lie in the screening anyway, but if the case is truly one of death and justice, then I believe potential jurors in these cases should be given a lie detector test.
I realize a LD test isn't a legally admissible exhibit in a court proceeding, but it is not out of the realm of the jury selection/strike process between prosecution and defense. This would just be adding one more party to the process - the law.
