Astute analysis. Not only was she useless she created a murderer. We get it. His mom was a POS. That had nothing to do with him murdering those people. This American culture is all about responsibility absolvement and assigning blame. HE murdered those people. Nobody else.

And for the record, I support the death penalty. And I don't even want to hear about the racial disparity crap either. I'm well versed in it.

I agree that prison for life is worse than death.
However, I don't wanna pay a single penny to feed him.
Kill him

I will be point blank with this. It doesn't matter what his mother was and I refuse to feel sorry for him if his childhood was bad. They should fry that sucker! Fry him until he is done and crispy.

It would be interesting to hear the pro-life Bible thumpers make the argument that this pregnancy should not have been aborted, sort of brings up the contradiction of exactly what stages of life they care about in their pro-life policies and rhetoric. It obviously would have been the best thing for the world and everyone involved, if this kid's mother had let him be aborted...

As far as I’m concerned spending the rest rest of your life in prison is worse than the death penalty. In fact some convicted individuals choose the death penalty over life in prison. Also it usually costs the taxpayers more for a prisoner to be executed than it does for life in prison

Being in jail all your life with no chance of parole is way worse than being executed.

I think he'll rot in jail with a husband to protect his virgin ass until somebody offs him.

What a waste of tax dollars. Hopefully someone in prison offs him. The world would be a better place.

I did not hear the case, so I'm not going to second guess the jury's decision. Let the POS rot in prison.

If the verdict holds, the authorities better try to protect him. Depending on the prison population he is held with, hard to imagine some lifers not being tempted to off him for the fame and yard cred.

If this isn't a capital punishment case, there is none. Probably the jury selection process enabled the defense to pull this off.

He definitely had a broken brain from being conceived by his mother. I would bet he never got any help either. This is the result of no help for children like this kid. We have a sick society that doesn’t lift a finger for kids like this. He never had a chance to be normal. So very sad that he took innocent lives the way he did.

I understand how tempting a case like this is to want to have the death penalty, but with how unevenly it is applied to racial minorities and the poor, compared to killers that are white and/or rich, it doesn't seem worth having, to me, as an option. And there is also the issue of how governments use the death penalty for trumped up, non-violent offenses to kill and silence their political enemies and critics.

I would have voted for the death penalty. He shouldn't get to live after what he did. Straight to the electric chair!

Everyone's got a hard life. Some overcome it but that's not the rule.
