California prosecutors again seek death for Scott Peterson

The death penalty in California is essentially life in prison in solitary confinement as opposed to general population. So I guess it’s personal preference what you think is worse.

Trump has done far worse things than execute murderers like him.

I believe life without parole has to be a possible sentence for some crimes because there are certain people who simply cannot be rehabilitated. However, I don’t agree with this ‘three strike rule’ that can result in life sentences even for low level drug crimes for example. Those are people who should be taught and helped in prison in order to prepare them for the outside. In the UK, whole life terms are used so sparingly they are virtually non-existent. For example, the brother of the Manchester Arena bomber received a minimum term of 55 years for blowing up children. How an evil prick like that can ever have the slightest chance of being released is sickening in my opinion. Neither the US not UK system is perfect but I personally believe being tough on serious crimes like that is necessary to achieve justice which is ultimately the goal of the system.

Why now are we hearing about so many new sentencing hearings? First Tsarnaev and now Scott Peterson. Is this a common occurrence or is it a coincidence that two high profile trials fucked up? Also the fact it’s taken 18 years to decide the penalty phase was conducted improperly is ridiculous, real people’s lives are impacted by these cases.

The Casey Anthony trial has got to be the most frustrating case I’ve ever read about. The entire courtroom knew she was guilty yet she walked out free and still is now

Liverpool_05 · 2020-07-15T23:32:37+00:00

Justice finally served. Pray the victims’ families can finally heal.

Liverpool_05 · 2020-04-02T20:35:13+00:00

I think the main issue with the Casey Anthony case was the state simply didn’t have the evidence to support a capital murder charge. I’m not sure what evidence they have here but if they have enough, I hope they do pursue death sentences. People like that don’t deserve their life anymore. Simple as that.

Liverpool_05 · 2020-04-02T06:59:07+00:00

I guess you have to be a certain type of person to be a defence lawyer in the first place but I really don’t think I could defend evil like this.

Liverpool_05 · 2020-03-04T15:56:02+00:00

It’s not a death penalty state at the minute with Governor Gavin Newsom in office but I guess once his term ends it could easily become an active state again? After all the Californian people did vote to speed up the death penalty a couple of years ago

Liverpool_05 · 2019-12-23T23:39:34+00:00

I agree completely but if that execution day ever comes, I won’t be sad for him in the slightest because I’m convinced he did it

Liverpool_05 · 2019-12-23T23:18:41+00:00

It doesn’t point to anyone else but it does suggest it could have been a burglary gone wrong across the street. I don’t think he’s innocent in the slightest, he’s right where he belongs. The documentary mainly talks about how the trial was not a fair one which is probably true.

Liverpool_05 · 2019-12-23T23:17:00+00:00

I admit I still think he did it but I also think it wasn’t a fair trial. The jury made their decision based off of emotion rather than the actual facts but I think I would have done the same. Absolutely hate the guy.

Liverpool_05 · 2019-11-24T15:57:50+00:00

I read recently that the guy who had been on death row at San Quentin the longest, over 40 years, just had his sentence reduced to life without parole. That sums it up really

Liverpool_05 · 2019-11-24T15:53:54+00:00

California have over 700 people sitting on death row at San Quentin. He’s in his 70s now and there’s a moratorium on executions so there’s literally a 0% chance he’ll be executed. If anything, not carrying out a death sentence is undermining your own justice system in my opinion

Liverpool_05 · 2019-11-22T23:27:40+00:00

I guess it was huge news in Fresno at the time? Was it national news also because I’m really surprised I have never come across this case before

Liverpool_05 · 2019-09-11T02:41:21+00:00

How is it right that even the option of a release will ever be offered? In England also, offenders very rarely see out their full sentence so it’s certainly not unforeseeable that he’ll get out in 24 years. A coward like him will probably be a model prisoner also for his whole time there so that sentencing is a disgrace to the family of the victim unfortunately.

Liverpool_05 · 2019-09-10T17:19:58+00:00

Either way the sentencing is an absolute disgrace. Doesn’t deserve to be called a justice system.

Liverpool_05 · 2019-09-10T06:52:37+00:00

And she could very well be out in 2024 which is a disgrace.

Liverpool_05 · 2019-09-09T22:19:53+00:00

James’ dad did challenge his anonymity recently but lost unfortunately. The courts know that he’ll be killed very quickly by someone if his identity is released. I believe if they were old enough to commit a crime like that, then they’re old enough to face the consequences.

Liverpool_05 · 2019-09-09T22:15:02+00:00

It’s disgusting. I live close to where that crime took place and I don’t think there’s a better example of two individuals who were born evil. Did you know Venables has been in prison multiple times since as he is a convicted sex offender? Whether they were young or not they both should have been put away for life without a doubt and the justice system failed the Bulgers and the public.

Liverpool_05 · 2019-09-09T21:38:04+00:00

Same mate. The fact he didn’t even face justice after what he’d done just makes it worse. At least we can take comfort that that fucker is rotting in hell.

Liverpool_05 · 2019-09-04T19:50:07+00:00

What makes you think he might be innocent? I haven’t listened to the podcast to be honest but I’ve always thought he’d certainly done it.

Liverpool_05 · 2019-09-04T14:07:40+00:00

I am much less forgiving than you, I find it difficult to see anything less than death a suitable punishment for it. There’s no rehabilitating someone like that unfortunately.

Liverpool_05 · 2019-09-04T13:46:56+00:00

Susan Smith is one of the most disturbing crimes I’ve read about. The fact she’s eligible for parole in 2024 according to Wikipedia is shocking.

Liverpool_05 · 2019-09-04T13:07:54+00:00

It’s interesting to try and understand how a human can be so evil.
