Good morning y'all. I'm here and hope that all of you are fine. Look forward to having your company through this disturbing sentencing. I'm hoping that the jury will give the deserved sentence of death................I hope this happens today.......and isn't carried over to tomorrow.

 

[Muffet]

I wish they could rehear Mr Newsom's statement before they go off to decide.

I'm thinking the photos of the trashcan and the railroad tracks pics would do the trick.

Like Price said, heinous, atrocious, and cruel doesn't even begin to describe what they went though.

As judge explains meanings of terms "Heinous", "atrocious," "cruel", and "torture:"

 

[Muffet]

"The defendant's parenting was so bad up until he was 16, it was too late for him to take advantage of opportunities given to him..."
- Poor Aunt Rose deserves a lot more credit for the role she played in his life than they're giving her. :no:

"The def has an addiction to MJ and cocaine."
- He made that choice.

[SuziQ]

Judge shoots him down.
