My stepfather was a minister. I have an aunt with a degree in Theology. I was raised in a religious family and went to church every Sunday of my life as I was growing up. I believed in forgiving those who 'trespass' against you. You can forgive while not forgetting.
Now that I am 60 years old and have life experiences, I find myself not quite as forgiving. I was raised in ignorance of the evil that is really in this world. That does not apply any longer, and I am all too aware of the evil that does exist in the hearts of some.
Having said all of that; I have really wrestled with my views on the Death Penalty. At this point in my life, I have to say that were I on that jury I would vote for the Death Penalty for Casey. IF her death sentence were to be commuted to LWOP when her appeals come up, then I would be fine with that also. Hypocrite? Maybe I am, but I still want Casey to hear the verdict be a death sentence. IF she is executed, then so be it. IF the sentence is commuted to LWOP, then so be it.
I want to hear a death sentence for Casey so that she will experience the utter fear of death. Inbetween her appeal(s), I want her to fear being put to death. She should experience death row. She should have to be in mental agony inbetween her sentence and her appeal(s) wondering IF her sentence will be commuted to LWOP or she will indeed be put to death. After all; she was precious Caylee's judge, jury, and executioner.
MOO
