I was truly caught off guard by no defense mitigating witnesses. I couldn't help but have Jodi Arias and Warren Jeffs flashbacks... And the victim statements! I had to drop what I was doing a few times because I couldn't see through my tears. Such a heart-wrenching day.
However, I now think CD is going for full-fledged martyrdom and thus, in his telestial psychopathic fantasy-scape vision, it is beneath him. Because of this, I am hoping for LWOP. Anything that treats him from here on out as a mere mortal. The DP would only encourage his grandiosity.
And frankly aafromaa, I think JP is doing the absolute best he can with his losing hand.
I am hoping for swift justice today. Let this end! Let the victims and rifted families and communities begin healing!
