phase to be announced.

1. I hope it's llife w/out parole

Not that I would cry one tear if he were to be executed (or killed in prison), but a death penalty ruling will only mean more years and years of appeals and pain for the families.

And I want this guy (who's name I cannot spell or pronounce) to suffer in prison.

3. Jury is in the courtroom now. Envelope over to the clerk. .....

Only moments away......death penalty is still in play...

It's down to the mitigating factors to save him, I think. Channel 7 commentator seems to think it's DEATH, that the aggravated items outweigh the mitigating factors.

If that's the case, the long appeals process begins.

[avebury]

4. First 2 gateway factors have been met. nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. What are gateway factors? n/t

[avebury]

8. Gateways are like the steps that have to be met

to determine if a capital crime was committed. For example - disregard of life, committing an act with the knowledge that people will be injured, and so on. I am not a lawyer and this is the best I can explain it.

Just heard on MSNBC, they are going over the mitigating factors.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Thanks!

[avebury]

5. Unanimous that at least one capiial crime was committed.

Guilty of death of Martin Richard.

[sendero]

7. I will be so glad....

... to never hear about this loser ass again.

[avebury]

10. Three jurors found that he was influenced by his older brother.

Jurors found that his attorneys did provide 3 mitigating factors. I don't know what the other 2 factors are.

[B2G]

11. Death

Well at least he won't have to endure the 'torture' of Supermax.

[avebury]

12. Death penalty unanimous verdict. nt

[bunnies]

13. Death. nt

[avebury]

14. 10 Jurors found the mother played a role in the radicalism

of the older brother.

[WillowTree]

15. I cared about the guilty/not guilty verdict. This one, not so much.

He's an evil waste of flesh and either way, he never gets to breathe free air again so.......whatever.

[hrmjustin]

16. I am against the death penalty but he made his choice.

May the victims find peace and may he seek forgiveness from the victims.

[avebury]

17. Death penalty only for those people killed by his bomb,

not for the police officer or from the bomb his brother planted.

[WillowTree]

18. Appropriate.
