re: Fedex driver, Tanner Horner, sentenced to death.

Make him feel the same terror that little girl faced.

No I know, just proving point to a smart
arse

His defense tried some half arse reasoning that he was on the spectrum and he had been bullied.

I understand it’s a core/vital part of our legal system to have defense attorneys who will defend anyone’s right to a fair trial, but goddam how does one sleep at night after arguing on behalf of this dude and guys like him?

Death is too kind. He’s a rare breed that actually makes me hope hell is real.

That is where the system is messed up. This guy will live to be an old man there.

Yep, now we get to sit through appeals. 2051 can’t get here soon enough for that piece of shite.

Why/how in the hell did it take 3 hours to decide this POS was guilty and deserves to die.

I would assume that even in an open and shut case like this one, it’s probably a pretty weighty thing on the jurors’ minds to have the guy’s life in their hands.

u think someone who did what he was ok with doing will feel any shame for being "known as" those things among his other inmates?

If he's put with the other inmates he won't have time to feel anything. The order to kill him would be given the moment they find out what section he is put in.


A lot of very dangerous inmates were abused and sexually assaulted growing up, and they don't hold with those that commit the same acts on children.

I'm not knocking the jurors. They did everything they were empowered to do and I commend them greatly for it. They are brave people and credits to our society.

But hand me my 45 and put his life in my hands. What to have for lunch would be a weightier decision. This is why I say that our justice system is a joke. What we legally do to him will pale in comparison to the wake of destruction he has wrought. It's not justice and if you just sit and think about for a bit, even after taking a couple of semesters of constitutional law, you'll know in your gut that something is not right here. There is some sort of cultural cowardice and rot that allows for this result, the humane euthanization of this scum.

The 8th amendment, however you feel about it, allows for hanging and firing squads. Can we get a little bit of that, courts/legislatures/governors? Why are we trying to kill them in the most painless and expensive manner possible? The only appreciable policy goal is that they are afraid the death penalty will eventually be ruled unconstitutional and they are trying to avoid it. If that happens we are truly lost and have to contend with deeper concerns than what happens to murderers.

Good

I didn’t need to know about this case and I’m sad I do now. The world can be really fricked up.
