Thats not true. if theres any reasonable doubt. and that verbage is very very important.

Its why OJ walked. there was some reasonable doubt.

If the standard was "any doubt" then very very very few people would be in jail.

I agree as you do. People who were killed, did not get years to be killed, they died when the monsters ended their life early.

And they sit on death row for how long, before being executed. What a waste of trash.

Indeed one does not have to consider that aliens did it. It's not legit to say she is guilty enough to spend life in prison but not be executed. She is either guilty or not and the sentence applies.

We are making the taxpayer pay millions to determine whether to kill Jodi, but should we just give her life?

Yes, she should be executed. Her whole case should have cost a fraction
of what it did. It makes me sick that our legal system has jacked up their costs the way they do.

Should Jodi Arias get the death penalty? No, because nobody should get the death penalty. There should be no death penalty in a civilized ethical society.

But leaving that issue aside, should Jodi Arias get the maximum penalty possible? Absolutely. It was cold blooded murder performed by a rational adult who knew planned it out and knew what she was doing. Other than actually torturing someone to death, it doesn't much worse than that.

I am against the death penalty on religious grounds.

Stick her in a cell with Wanda and Bertha and she will wish she got the death penalty instead of the DP they have in mind.

She pled guilty to murder before the first trial began. The only job the sec on jury has is to determine the penalty.

For once, I agree with loveshiscountry.

American justice is so slow to execute it is simply a huge waste of money.

I say this after a nice gal who was a friend of mine was viciously murdered. her killer was captured soon afterward, was given the death penalty, and spent the next 24 years on death row. By the time he got bit by the needle, her infant son had grown up never knowing his mother, and the only thing she was remembered for was being a victim.
She deserved a lot more than only that memory, as all her friends will attest to. But that's how it is. All the victims end up only being a fuzzy picture at the bottom of the execution account that's in the paper and hits the internet.

Her killer was a young worthless slob when he was convicted, and was nothing but an older, fatter slob he he crawled up on the gurney. His last words were a cheap insult to the families of his victims.

He didn't deserve that privilege, or the decades of feeding his ego the slow process of the appeals gave him. His execution gave me no comfort at all. Susan had been gone for so long the pain had long vanished. I became disgusted at the huge waste of money his execution had cost me and all of us.

Put them down, deep in the belly of the beast, quit talking about them, and let them live out the rest of their miserable lives in anonymity. That's the way the families can find peace, knowing he will never walk out the gates alive. It's cheaper, more likely a preventative (if there is one), and society will never have to wonder if the right thing was done or not.

if what we want as a society is suffering, not redemption, for those who kill then that's much better and more prolonged suffering. By the time they are executed, they are grateful for the release anyway.
