so a premeditated murder of a high profile ceo wont get you the death penalty? if that doesnt then what does?

State murder charges, but NY doesn’t have the death penalty.

Federal murder charges do, but they require additional circumstances, such as committing murder during the commission of another violent crime, which stalking is not. That’s why the federal murder charge went away

Garnett was recommended to the White House by Senator Chuck Schumer.

On June 28, 2023, President Joe Biden announced his intent to nominate Garnett to serve as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

On July 11, 2023, her nomination was sent to the Senate. President Biden nominated Garnett to the seat vacated by Judge Vincent L. Briccetti, who assumed senior status on April 21, 2023.[6] On July 26, 2023, a hearing on her nomination was held before the Senate Judiciary Committee.[7] On September 14, 2023, her nomination was reported out of committee by a 12–9 vote.[8] On November 28, 2023, the United States Senate invoked cloture on her nomination by a 49–46 vote.

Her nomination was confirmed later that day by a 49–46 vote.[10] She received her judicial commission on January 9, 2024.

I side with my priest on this issue.

The state should not be empowered to have a death penalty. Life in prison is in many ways a fate worse than death, especially for a guy as young as this guy.

You should side with the Bible, as God's word and revelation of His will.

God actually commanded the state to have the authority to take life for justice, and that was thousands of years ago, before DNA analysis and other technological improvements.

If you are a Christian, you have to know that God's wrath is far worse than man's.

This isn't merely about the man, though. It's about stealing from God. God made man in His image, and all men belong to God. He can do with us as He pleases, but we are limited in what we can do to other people. The reason why God demanded the death penalty for murder was because to kill unlawfully is to destroy what God has made and placed value in. He sets the terms for when we can destroy a life, and if we take that power into our own hands through murder, we are to forfeit our own lives as the result.

When you deny the death penalty as a valid or even necessary option for certain crimes, you are actually denying not only God's word, but His rights over other human beings that He has created.

He flat out murdered someone. Causing his death? Yeah, just a little bit...

Ridiculous.

That's some twisted shite right there.

Next time I speak with God, I will ask him about this.

Honestly, what difference does it make now? Even if sentenced to death, he would spend 40 years on death row filling appeals…all paid for by tax payers. If they did get around to killing him before he died of natural causes, no one would even remember who he was or who he killed. Our justice system is broken beyond repair. Bring back public hangings. You get one appeal. Appeals and sentence must be completed in 12 months or less.

This guy is not getting convicted.


This will be a classic example of “jury nullification.”

There isn’t room on dockets for this, even if it was constitutional.

I hope he does not VIP treatment. Book deal. TV rights. Special treatment. Girls friends, Hope he gets Gen Pop where the real hoods can teach him about how the game is played on the inside. If he has enough money in his account he can buy protection. If not he will be somebodies toy boy. I would think putting him in Administrative Segregation would be worse. One hour a day out of the cell Exercise in dog run. No canteen. Restricted visitation. Really not fun. No drugs in there either. Does not take long to become institutionalized under those conditions. Some end up on suicide watch which is even worse.

I'm against the death penalty for a few reasons, one of which is life in a prison is much worse than getting it all over with in an instant. His life is gonna suck hard for decades.

That's probably a good thing in regards to a winning a conviction against him.

The potential maximum sentence for the remaining two counts for causing Thompson’s death under federal stalking laws is “life in prison without parole,” Garnett noted.


I am ok with life without parole for him. IMO life without the possibility of parole is a harsher sentence than the death sentence anyway.
