VA Death Penalty

[Antitrust32]

She should have either been sentenced to life like the others.. or the other two sentenced to death like her.

a little consistency here courts!!! are the judges also racing stewards?

We all wonder, but never know.




How can we?

If the govt is going to be in the killing business I dont know why she would be spared? What rights is she denied because of her low IQ score? She has the exact same rights as everyone else does and as a free adult in the US she made poor enough choices that she should pay for with her life if that is what the law in the state decrees. If you want to end the death penalty I have no quarrel with that stance and this case shows the fineline that the states must walk because of it. But if you are going to be given every other right that every other law abiding citizen has then the right to die for your crime should be granted as well. If you are sane enough to be greedy, you are sane enough to pay the price.

I have to agree with this......she knows the diff betwwen right and wrong. It's touchy cuz she's been ruled to have diminished capacity....but that doesnt mitigate guilt..

yep, she should have thought about the consequences before she ordered a hit on her husband and stepson.

Do those two people have the option to live anymore? nope

Though I am against people with mental retardations being given the death penalty. An autistic kid who flips out and kills someone should not be put to death. This woman just seems to be really dumb.. thats her problem.

I still cant understand her comment of "This can happen to any good person. It was a mistake" How is plotting and funding two murders a mistake that can happen to any good person?
