[Bitwit1234]

28. I'd say cut something else off so he can't re-produce.

We sure as heck don't need any more like him.

[MuseRider]

[glitch]

13. Most brave and excellent jury, the citizens of the United States thank you. nt

[gratuitous]

14. Good for the jury

I didn't think the defense shenanigans were going to amount to much, but you never know when you go to trial. All it takes is one juror who says, "Yanno, maybe in his mind, Roeder really was . . ." or some such nonsense. It gives me hope that the universe of Roeder-style nutjobs is just a little smaller than the popular media make them out to be. Certainly they're noisy and publicity-seeking, and the popular media fall all over themselves to pay attention to them, making them seem more numerous or sympathetic than they have any right to.

Good for the judge, too.

22. Usually do pretty well

In criminal trials, as oppose to civil trials, jurys usually do the fairly "mainstream" thing. They wrongly convict people all the time, but mostly because the defense sucks, or the prosecution stacked the evidence or something. TV loves to make a big deal out of "sympathetic juries", but alot of lawyers will tell you that really, they tend to be a bit conviction prone. It doesn't help that our jury selection procedures tend to lean that way.

17. When do the death threats start against the jurors?

C'mon. You know it's going to happen.

[Brother Buzz]

20. The Westboro Baptist Church clan is very busy in California today

Palo Alto, Stanford, San Francisco, San Francisco, San Francisco, San Francisco, San Francisco, San Francisco.

If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium. :crazy:

[Maru Kitteh]

18. Kansas to Roeder > ROT IN YOUR HELL you worthless pile of excrement. n/t

[RoadRage]

19. It was so blatent.. how the heck could they not?

Did you drive up and shoot the Dr. in front of his congretation?

"YES".

Umm.. OK - Guilty.

Just because you don't like the job that the guy does, and you may not agree with it doesn't allow you to kill him. This is not new!

[DainBramaged]

21. Life in the worst prison in America, death is too easy for this clown

[malaise]

33. +1,000

Prison for life.

[aikoaiko]

23. Excellent.

Is the death penalty on the table? if not, is life without parole automatic?

[cbdo2007]

24. Good - Thou Shall Not Kill

And it starts with real, live people. Not unborn babies.

[lib_wit_it]

37. Word!

[HughBeaumont]

25. Stick him in the GP.

Putting him to sleep on a gurney like a dog lets him off easy.

[myrna minx]

26. Thank you Kansas. K&R n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

30. So what's the sentence?

An extremely "late term abortion" seems fitting.

[blogslut]

31. Good

Very good.

[quiet.american]

32. Well deserved. And for me, more importantly, his defense was not viewed as a good justification. nt

[arthritisR_US]

34. GOOD....just curious, is he eligible for the death sentence? n/t

[uppityperson]

35. Good, k&r

[femrap]

36. I guess nothing

is wrong w/ Kansas anymore.

Nice to see Justice for a change.
