People here seem to comment based on headlines or subjects without actually reading articles or posts, and seem to take issue with forum members who don’t share the view that is most commonly accepted on this forum. This is pretty ironic for a forum that is “Democratic.’ I certainly have viewed the “whole movie,” and my opinion regarding the death penalty should be clear to anyone who took the time to read my post.

The easy cases where perpetrators are indisputably guilty of awful crimes and capitol punishment can be more easily justified make bad law unfortunately. While the mental health of the perpetrator here certainly raises issues, the fact is her crime was horrendous, and there is at least some evidence that she she was legally competent when she committed the crime.
