It absolutely disgusts me that his defense team motioned to dismiss the first degree murder charge. I get that, as the defense team, it’s their job to fight for lesser charges. But in this case, I mean come on, it doesn’t get much more premeditated than this. Connor deserves zero mercy for the painful death he put her through.

Agreed. I hate poisoners. I also hate bombers. Which I hate more depends on what I've been reading about or watching lately. Both poisoning and bombing require meticulous planning and premeditation and deep sadism, and a casual attitude to who or how many people get hurt. The amount of kids who take a bite or a sip of the victim's food or drink and get poisoned themselves is not zero.

MOO
