Bingo. Add to this the fact that he wouldn’t be a danger to anyone while in prison, and they can spare him without worry that he will hurt someone else. Pathetic, in light of what happened to her, and in light of the continued insult to and suffering of her family. Assuming they know all the...

Oops. I just saw in that post I didn’t say the weren’t unanimous on future dsngerousness! IDK why I left that out! Must have been late, or at the end of a long workday. No wonder you didn’t get what I was saying...... I think I was meaning to say that ALL 12 agreed on ALL the other...

A * I’ve used up my five free ones on the News-gazette site, so I CAN’T get through to it. Does it have quotes from interviews of jurors? Yes, they didn’t agree on future dangerousness. That gave the 2 the cover to show him the mercy they wanted to show. They would never have to worry that...

I might be wrong, but I believe that Melville testified that they treated the knife found in the utility room with luminol and it gave no reaction. The putz may well have thought to get rid of the knife he used on her -and was just an idiot when it came to the baseball bat....... Also...

All twelve found ALL of the aggravators were proved beyond a reasonable doubt by the government. So, the two sad-sack saps with enlarged hearts and soft-spots for a guy growing up with an alcoholic mother completely agreed that he killed her in a heinous, cruel and depraved manner, showed no...

It's so he doesn't financially benefit from a book deal or paid interviews, or any other way he might potentially come into any amount of money of appreciable size.

Now, don’t go blaming all of us for two people who let enlarged hearts cloud their judgement and reasoning...

It dipped a bit after the kidnapping, but rebounded the following year. It wouldn’t surprise me if it does dip some again. Not so much because of danger, but because of the perceived insult of not sentencing him to death, especially in light of the fact that he refuses to divulge her remains...

I really wish we could get the transcript of that call. They have not posted it.

Again, one of those "trial-by tweet" issues.... Although, one thing I would like to point out with my idea is that I *don't* just mean keeping her from contacting/seeing him. I also mean not letting him contact HER. Suppose he wants to try and repair his relationship with her (if it is...

I *really* hope someone is pointing out to all these people that it was a measly 2 jurors who were responsible for this. It should not be forgotten than 10 voted for death. I really wish that they would go to a 3/4th majority to get a death sentence (9-3 for death or more). Go ahead and keep...

Anyone here know if BOP can restrict or ban inmate contact with certain specific individuals, either indefinitely or for a period of time? Like, say, for security reasons, or ongoing investigation reasons? I would assume they cant ban family members or an inmate's lawyers; but, the specific...

This. He will never get out. This fact is key to why the two gave him a pass. Read the two extra mitigating factors and the questions they asked Shadid about future dangerousness. They wanted to give him a pass because of drugs and alcohol, mom being a drunk, etc.... but they were worried...

The jury found that all three statutory aggravators were proven by the government, and 4 of the 5 non-statutory ones were proven. The only that wasnt proven was future dangerousness. The jury form shows this. To consider them proven, each aggravator had to be unanimous -like with the final...

There was one that wasn't proven: future dangerousness Also, they weigh the proven aggravating factors against the mitigating factors Sadly, two people thought "substance abuse issues" coupled with various and sundry other BS excuses outweighed the murder; torture-severe physical abuse; lack...

This. Aint no way he's getting to Tucson until the Zhangs have something they can take home to China for proper burial.....

BC's own father said in his testimony that he could accept a sentence of death. While I'm sure he wouldn't really actually vote for it, you could make the argument that his own dad would have been more likely to vote for the death sentence than these two jurors who were persuaded by the...

Yes, but let's hold off on that until *after* we get all we can out of him regarding the location of her remains........

You have to hurt him where it really hurts him if you want to get him to come to the table. He got what he wanted. Life. He's a remorseless b@stard. He doesn't care about the family. He doesn't care about their pain. He cares about what he wants and needs. He doesn't care *that* much about...

Yo, Bob...... Remember BC's father's testimony? Remember what he said? How he could accept a sentence of death...... ?
