They should bring back the prison farms. You don’t work the farm, you don’t eat.

there should be swift and decisive death penalty.

In cases where there is eyewitnesses and conclusive evidence, they should just shoot them right there in the courtroom at the end of the verdict.

>>You’re a conservative with no Biblical knowledge? How does that work?

I’ve been a Conservative since 1980. I was an atheist from 1978 to 2007. The two are not dependent on one another.

Thanks.

The excerpt was irrelevant nonsense. I figured any article that has such drivel would be nonsense, but I was not going to cluck through to read the article.

Your post explained the facts and why he is guilty of murder.

“hard labor”

These days, that means no CATV on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

He’s white, so he will probably be executed. If he was black, he might have a chance.

that was a stupd question- unless the nuns were aware of the crime and supported it.

If a guy drives a murderer to commit the act then he should get the death penalty too.

“There should be no death penalty.”

Why not?

What are you and why?

You are lucky the judge didn’t cite you for contempt. You making a snarky stupid point. I agree with the judge’s decision to throw you off the jury, though I suppose the defense attorney wished you had been retained.

Execution, and not after decades of legal wrangling and costing millions of taxpayer $, is the only just method. For murder, rape, child molesting, arson that results in a death.

No attention to, and no sympathy for, the person who was murdered.

It’s called the joint enterprise principle. If you are a party to a crime, and the crime results in a murder, you are liable for the *results* of *your* criminal act.

He did kill a man. He just didn’t pull the trigger. Hitler never personally harmed a single Jew.

That’s not true.

You stand up to evil and reveal it’s just rewards.

Placing someone on death row to be a thorn in the side of prison guards for 50 years is not humane to the guards.

The Judge asked if anyone had any questions, so I asked about “what if it is a bus full of Nuns and the bus driver robs a 7-11?

Stupid, sophomoric argument. First, the prosecutor wouldn't bring charges, second, the grand jury wouldn't indict. Finally, the jury wouldn't convict. On top of it all, any prosecutor that did bring charges would be made to look like a flaming moron in every election for the rest of his life.

The poor bastard had the bad luck to be white. If he was black, his sappy excuses would be running 24/7/365 on MSNBC.

My dad was murdered by 2 punks with a gun. Both are now out and on the street.
