With respect, you don’t have a clue which posts have been removed. Save your “I know you’re a mod” qualifier because I have never discouraged opposing opinions here. In fact, quite the opposite. I encourage them. Pretty much anyone who has frequented this forum over the past 4 years will...
That was pretty much settled about 3 years ago. Pat (Teresa’s brother) filed suit and won. Teresa’s family has had access to much of the funds to pay for the care of the girls. They’ve had to keep a very strict, detailed accounting of all expenditures. I’m sure now that Mark has been...
I think he wanted the DP. He doesn’t want to live if it means the rest of his life in prison. His entire world collapsed the day he was convicted. Nothing else mattered.
I can tell you from experience that you get to know the family members. You care for them. You feel like you’ve let them down. It’s hard. So many people suffering greatly because of the actions of Mark Sievers. It’s just sad.
Exactly.
People need to tone down the celebration in here. Seriously people.
It’s fine to express that you’re pleased with the jury’s verdict but those two daughters are about to lose another parent. FOREVER.
Exactly.
Plus, they have custody of the girls. I highly doubt they want to go back and tell those girls who have already lost their mother that their father has been sentenced to death. What a horrid dilemma. God bless those girls!
This day & age it is ridiculous they don’t have the transcripts of his testimony by now. Court reporter software is so advanced it is easy to have these in a few days. Sometimes even quicker. I don’t get it.
I saw several people ask/comment about what Teresa’s family wanted. I know early on (several years ago) they were not big proponents of the DP. At least that was the feedback I was given. They wanted him convicted & to never see the light of day outside of a prison. By now, I suspect that they...
Maybe. This jury appears to be filled with “rule followers”. If they throw emotion out the window & decide according to the law / jury instructions, they may recommend death.
Correct. I can honestly say I don’t care. I want the jury to do whatever they are comfortable living with. I’ve been on a jury with high stakes so I totally understand the weight of making this decision. I predict it will be LWOP but who knows.
One reason it doesn’t matter to me is...
I agree they seem a little detached but maybe that is a learned behavior as a result of life disappointments or pain endured. Probably a dysfunctional family dynamic. Even dysfunctional family members love & care for one another though.
