I just cannot get past: Her husband was still alive, kneeling beside the car in shock. Napoleon leaned over the bleeding man and pulled the trigger again. to really ask myself the question. http://www.texasmonthly.com/mag/issues/2002-04-01/feature4.php
outlaw, Did you even bother to read the article? For someone to be mature and KNOW the difference between right and wrong and to blatently murder someone is ..... beyond shocking. Im not sure either way if he should have been put to death....
yes i did. that's all i need to know. if he knew it was wrong and he still did it then he deserves to die.
That concerns me, the idea that the court could be deadlocked like that, for that reason. Seems like there would be some way around this. I mean, this is a man's life we're talking about. Pretty inopportune time to deadlock. What if eight of them had known Luttig...? Would one judge have been able to rule? (Somehow I doubt it). I wonder if it's a coincidence that an appeal based the possibility of racial bias on the part of the jury wasn't made until all other avenues had been explored...? It's almost as if the attornies didn't think racial bias was an issue at all, but instead were desperate for some reason to overturn the verdict and seized on racism as their last, best hope. This does not help victims of real racial bias in the courtroom . If that's really the motivation behind the action of those attornies-- and we'll never know if it really is-- they should be disbarred.
Well. . . .now we have to bring in the YATES RULE Remember 4 of her children were still alive and revivable when she laid the sheet over them on the bed. . . . So . . .according to the YATE RULE . .. then no . . he should not die . . she should get mental help and 40 yrs in prison how many did he kill again? She killed 5 Rocket River
