I would be okay with either LWOP or the death penalty. Nothing less.
I think this case should be easy to get a sentence of death.
If anything other than one of these, I'd consider it a miscarriage of justice.
Tend to agree. I think the DP is huge stretch for this type of case unless the prosecution has something I can't imagine up it's sleeve. MO, conviction is a lock, but maybe not 1st degree unless the jury is as PO'd at the 31 days thingie as I am. She seems to have already adapted to the roll of prisoner. I could definitely see her preggers within the next couple of years.
I think after what the jury saw today I'm confident they will sentence KC to death, and if they don't HJP Will.
On Nancy Grace tonight, Bill Shaeffer said he never thought this was a DP case. After hearing JB's opening he said he changed his mind.Up until today I thought this should have been an LWOP case. After hearing JB's opening statements, though I wouldn't be at all surprised if jury members who were hesitant about the DP when picked are now solidly FOR it.
I do not think KC will get the death penalty. I think she deserves it, but I have never heard of a mother being sentenced to death for killing her child. I would not have a problem with Life in prison if it in fact means LIFE IN PRISON. I have a gnawing in my gut that says not only will she not get the DP, but she will get out early, somehow. And really, KC is IMO very dangerous and should never be free in society again.
A new gnawing, however, is that she might not even be convicted. It's making me sick!
I know there is a woman on death row in AZ for her child's murder, and she had someone else do it. And of course Darlie Routier in TX for killing 2 of her 3 boys. And there must be others.
LWOP does mean that, nowadays, although it didn't always.

You know, I minored in Theology in college, and I just throw this out there for consideration (it is not an indication of my personal religious beliefs).
For those that support the death penalty, what if there is no after-life? If we sentence Casey to death, doesn't she win because she has a quick and painless death - never to know or feel long term suffering and wasting away into old age?
Without a belief in an afterlife, does the rationale for the death penalty as the ultimate punishment still survive?
