Capital punishment

There's no way of knowing if some bleeding heart judge won't let him out in the future.

quote:

---

He should be kept alive and tortured to the full extent his body can handle everyday for atleast thirty years. Then kill him slowly with a thousand cuts from a butter knife

---

Who's paying for that?

You and I.




Kill him with a 25 cent bullet and move on.

---

I have major problems with the state executing citizens. The fact that people are, in this very thread, advocating torture is disheartening as well.

Execution, torture, and eye for eye mentality don't belong in modern society.

I don't look at people like you poorly, I just beg to differ. I am for capital punishment, but I would prefer firing squad, as bullet is cheaper.

I understand where people come from with this mentality as well. I just know how imperfect our system is and I would prefer 10 guilty monsters stay alive than the execution of 1 innocent person.

Witness testimony is now complete in the sentencing trial of James Holmes. Closing arguments will be made tomorrow and then jurors will decide life or death for that POS.

The prosecution chose Ashley Moser, mother of Veronica Moser, 6, and an unborn child that were both lost at the hands of James Holmes that night, to be the final witness on the stand. A great choice by the prosecution to really hit the jurors hard with emotion.

Denver Post:

CENTENNIAL — The final witness in the Aurora theater shooting trial rolled past the defense table in her wheelchair on Wednesday and told jurors about the death of her 6-year-old daughter, Veronica.

"I don't know who I am anymore," Ashley Moser said, choking back tears from a makeshift witness stand. "I was a mom when I was 18, and that's all I knew how to be. And now I'm not a mom."

Moser, who was critically wounded in the attack and lost her pregnancy, was the 302nd witness in a 15-week trial that began April 27.

She was testifying in the final penalty phase of the murder trial of James Holmes, who was convicted of killing 12 people and wounding 70 others in the July 20, 2012, attack.

Holmes told the judge on Wednesday that he will not testify on his own behalf, and he said he will not address the jurors.

District Attorney George Brauchler asked Moser what she misses most about Veronica Moser-Sullivan, her daughter and the youngest victim of the theater attack.

"Everything," Moser said, again crying.

"Her smile. Her laugh. The way she was just my little silly billy. She just always tried to make people happy," she said.

Moser said Veronica consumed all of her life from the time she was born.

"She was like my best friend," Moser said, sniffling. "She was my life."

The final step of sentencing for Holmes began with prosecutors calling the parents, spouses and siblings of the 12 people killed in the attack and asking them about how their lives have changed in the three years since. In legal terms, it is known as "victim-impact evidence."

Attorneys plan to deliver their closing arguments to jurors on Thursday, when jurors will issue a final verdict: life in prison or the death penalty.

It will be up to jurors to decide how long their deliberations will continue.


ETA: I'm sure there will be video available in the near future of her entire testimony. I don't know if I can watch it. If I do, and watch the whole thing, I may need a tissue.
