I was involved in collateral appellate work for death row inmates in Florida for six years. What I was talking about was not "psychobabble." What you call "psychobabble" goes to the heart of mitigators/aggravators, which is the focus of the sentencing portion of a death case.
Ahhhhhhh............ you were on the prosecuting or the defense?
I know a few people that have been raped and it's destroyed their lives. I'm back and forth on the issue, but it at least deserves a mandatory life sentence without parole.
OK...so John rapes Suzie. John knows that he can be sentenced to death either for raping her or for killing her.
At least with the DP as it is now, John has a motivation for not killing Suzie after the rape. But if he could get it for rape alone, why wouldn't he kill her? She couldn't report the rape OR the murder then.
Really? I would say he is clearly evil and deranged and has no concept of the sanctity of a human life.The death penalty is an ABSOLUTE deterent, once this guy is dead, he will never, ever, be able to kill another human being again!! Ted address' this very issue very well.............. YouTube - TEXAS MONTHLY TALKS - TED NUGENT
Yes, I said he is severely mentally ill, which is the same as deranged. Having no conscience is a symptom of antisocial personality disorder. IMHO, we should not execute the mentally ill, the intellectually challenged or juveniles.
People who kill children are considered scum by most prison inmates; his life expectancy would probably be no longer than Jeffrey Dahmer's was. The death penalty has not been proven to be a deterrent to those who have not murdered anyone. People seem to have missed the link regarding the number of people wrongfully convicted, which was my second point.
A first degree murder conviction is Florida would definitely NOT be impossible, and most likely will be the final outcome. This is FLORIDA. This guy will go to death row.
Do you guys have the death penalty in MO.? How many people on death row?
I have never heard of the death penalty for anything except first degree murder. Sorry. It's not first degree murder. He didn't plan it (or if he did, there is no proof of that, that I am aware of). Maybe he did plan it, but somebody is going to have to prove this in order for it to be a capital offense. Sorry, I don't make the laws. And I'm sure that Florida is no exception.

Please!
Again, do you have the death penalty in MO? If so, how many people are on death row in MO.? Do you work murder cases?
In Florida there are lots of "snitches" in the jails who would glady testify that the guy told them that he had really wanted to get the baby out of his life for months, yada, yada. Also, there is a time factor in re "intention."
We have about 400 people on death row in Florida.
