The Peterson Verdict

grimm · 12-10-2004

I voted for life. I am anti death penalty in jury trials. especially with the rate people are getting released do to DNA retesting on appeal. This one was too dragged out, with too little physical evidence. I think the a member of the jury could have been convinced not on the merits of the case, but of the horible nature of the crime.

Since we will never know exactly how the deceased died and the circumstances behind it, only that she did die at the hands of another, most likely her husband, i dont think special circumstances should come into play.

it is not a perfect system, and the death penalty makes it permanent.
