I truly wish they would bring back the death penalty for people like this guy. Like firing squads, hanging, etc...Maybe horrific crime would go down some, if the consequences were more severe!!

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

Find him guilty, drag him into the town square, shoot him in the head, and let the buzzards/dogs/bugs have him.

They should have him executed. And kill him the same way he murdered those innocent people.

Yeah, my belief is that person who commits murder should be executed the same way he/she killed the victim. So if you run over someone with a tank, guess what is going to happen to you? If you put a stick of dynamite up someone's rectum and light it, guess what is going to happen to you? We have eye for an eye in this country. It is time to stop the 'Humane' executions and give the sentence to match the crime.

Heck I would be happy to see public hangings come back as well. I bet you would see the crime rate drop if that happen.

Some people are against the death penalty. I am for expanding it.........Put an express way in. Make me happy.

Yes, you do. And I applaud you for it. I like that new law down there. Three eye witnesses to the crime, and you are put in the front of the line. God Bless Texas.

I don't think you should be able to plea bargain on a first-degree murder charge.  But that's just my opinion.

I agree with that. Plea bargains are meant for lessor offense.

You aren't the only one who thinks that.

I think the appeals process should be set to take maximum a year, with only one appeal in that time. 30 days after after you lose the appeal, the sentence is carried out. No more of these people sitting on death row for 20 years because they appeal every sentence.

I say one appeal because, yes, there are innocent people who are on death row. But with all the technology and science we have now. They should be able to clear him in that time. If he is indeed innocent.

Arizona is a DP state. He Copped a Guilty plea to get LWOP

This is only a plea to the federal charges. He still has 3 murder counts in state court.

No DP for LWOP not much of a plea bargain.  It does save the state time and money of a trial and victims family & friends the angst of reliving the event.

I don't care if he is looney as loon.  He deserves to die.  No one deserves to live if they kill people for NO reason.  He has no value for society.  He is just a bloodsucker on society.  He deserves to die just like all the other nuts killing people in movie theaters and churches.  I am tired of this insanity defense.
