   REGARING:
   “Well David we can do away with juries while we’re at it. That would solve the problem of murderers going free”

   Nope. There’s always the chance you or I might be accused of a crime and we’d want the odds in our favor rather than just saying, “He’s accused; let’s hang him.” With a jury, the accusers have to convince several neutral parties we actually did the bad thing.

   David for planning ahead

   I wouldn’t trust 12 people off the street to have any more common sense or brains than 12 chickens.

   REGARDING:
   “The death penalty should be a mandatory sentence for all convicted murders.”

   Hard to justify that statement when you consider the fact that it includes the thought that some people deserve killing. (Not that this instance comes close to being justified, just talking in general.)

   Consider: sometimes people get in fights and one dies. That might well get a second degree murder conviction even if the one who died threw the first punch, made the first stab or slice, fired the first shot, or just provoked the one who did.

   It’s a bad thing, but maybe not deserving of the death penalty.

   And then there’s felony murder: a person is involved in commission of a felony in which any reasonable person would know there was a danger someone would be killed. Then someone IS killed. That person is guilty of felony murder if you can convince the jury.

   One of the most interesting things about felony murder is that the main felon may be killed by the ones he was trying to harm and his fellow felons are then guilty of his murder. It makes sense but juries often don’t buy it.

   Maybe he deserves to die too but it would be harder to convince a jury if they knew that was the only possible response to a guilty verdict. In fact, all automatic death sentences have been ruled unconstitutional.

   Anyhoo, the danger is that making things too strict might result in more murderers going free than otherwise.

   David still thinking in general,
   not regarding this specific case

   Yes it is a shame that two young lives have ended. one doesnt know what went wrong. I know the shooter.he worked for me for about a year.he was dependable, but had a life of turmoil & despair. these two people had a volatile relationship. it wasnt all him. it was both. my heart goes out to both familys. and now there is a baby girl with no parents. i wish i could of been there to stop & separate these two before it came to this.

   This guy shot a young woman five times in the head in a public place! If anyone deserves the death sentence, he does.. I agree with Joe that the death penalty should be mandatory in these type cases.. This young woman was brutally executed and I hate to even think of what may have run through her mind if she saw him before he started firing..

   Maybe the lawyer that unsuccessfully tried to sue the
   Burger King on Hwy 29 on that shooting death, should
   try to sue Circle K / Wendys on this shooting.

   Maybe he’ll get lucky this time.

   (totally ridiculous, frivolous law suit !!!)

    I agree with Joe.
    Murder, rape and aggravated assault should all result in death sentence carried out within 4 weeks of sentencing. You physically violate another person, you die.

    But what about all those innocent people who were wrongly convicted?
    Easy.
    Pay compensation to their families of 2 million dollars upon irrefutable proof that they were innocent.

    Murders should not have the chance at life in prison. The death penalty should be a mandatory sentence for all convicted murders. The victim he allegedly killed did not even stand a chance to defend herself.
    Of course the family is going to cry out “he is innocent” “he is a good man” I do not know if he is or not, we have to wait and see if he is found guilty, that is why we have a legal system. He too shall get his day in court.

    Another young murderer who should go away for ever….he probably killed
    her because she wanted out of their relationship. Women are not property
    …..anymore….you can’t just do anything you please to them and think they
    will stay.
