in regards to Pike - absolutely - the only issue is how long it took to do it, and now it being halted. she should have been summarily executed long ago, and not had tax payers pay for her incarceration

she's rehabilitated meanwhile the victim didn't get to live out the rest of her life

I believe the death penalty is appropriate for anyone who knowingly and deliberately plans and carries out the murder of another human being. does that help?

What makes you think she's rehabilitated?

Wish we could just be honest about it and print out the rules.

A prostitute torture and death is worth maybe 5-10 years in prison per victim..

A poor to lower middle class victim is worth about 10-20 years.

Middle to upper middle class victim is 20-life.

A rich victim usually involves the death penalty where it is legal.

These penalties are on a sliding scale down the more rich and powerful the perpetrator of the crime tends to be.

If we really want to get to the root of problems, you could say they shouldn’t be in any positions of power or even voting , for these same reasons. Emotional people make bad decisions and shouldn’t be leading the rest of us. But yay for us for being nicer and more tolerant than our ancestors while society crumbles.

I haven't tracked this crime as deeply as some on here but I do think I read that she confessed to police about it. Probably/possibly after she knew she was caught but depending on the circumstances that could have shown remorse on her part, and of course they nailed her to the cross once she confessed.

Reminded me of a real crime event on youtube where four people were involved with a break in. Two of them were cold blooded psychos that killed two victims when it wasn't necessary, one being a teenage girl in the home.

The two that thought they were there for a robbery ended up confessing to the break in and testified that the other two did the killing. They had some evidence that made police believe that they were telling the truth but not enough to get a full conviction.

The two that did the kiliings wouldn't talk to police and asked for a lawyer.

The two that felt remorse, didn't commit the murders, and came clean got the longest sentences, With the third there was enough evidence to tie him to it somewhat but he got a lessor sentence and the 4th got off completely and police thought he was the murderer, but he didn't have any remorse and didn't confess because he and the third guy were psychopaths.

Never confess in an interrogation room, because the cops in that room are bigger liars than the criminals themselves and they aren't there to help you.

Why not recommend that alleged perps not carry a piece of the victim's skull around with them, much less show it off to fellow Americorp students.?

She ultimately became a suspect because she kept a piece of the victim's skull as a memento and showed it to people while bragging about what she'd done.

I responded to the poster that brought up the Cornell 7, and said my piece.

I have also responded with my feelings about the OP and the Pike situation, so as to not derail the thread further.

Yeah, that's terrible.

I think my argument is more about applying the death penalty fairly and consistently regardless of one's wealth or status in the community.

Basically arguing for more death penalty, not less.

But since there are thousands of people sitting in prison right now that killed people and collected souvenirs (very common actually), and not on death row, I'm just wondering why this 18 yr old was singled out besides the obvious heinousness of the crime, which kind of goes with the territory for killers, most of whom were older than 18 when they killed.

example: killing someone for insurance money or because they found someone they like better than their spouse and mother of their kids, that should be automatic death penalty and it never is.

AI Overview
Fewer than 1% to 2% of individuals convicted of killing their spouse receive the death penalty, making death penalty verdicts for spousal homicide exceedingly rare.

Look at that shite!

The first is not a pass to do the second. Where are the rights of the dead kid that she carved up? Why is the woman that was tortured and murdered subordinate in rights to the murderer?

I don’t remember our courts being so dysfunctional as a kid. Doing this shite an hour before scheduled execution? What kind of Mickey Mouse bullshite is this?

Regular people don’t pull stunts like that, politicians do. So the question is, why do we have politicians in the judiciary?
