It will take 30 years at least to execute him, but he'll sit in a single cell in San Quentin for the duration.

It’s been 13 years since California’s last execution, and it seems unlikely that executions will resume anytime soon, if ever.

This is effectively a sentence of life in prison.

#McStay - The jury finds special circumstance, that means this will move to the penalty phase where Merritt faces the possibility of the death penalty.

I believe the jury will give him the DP, which he deserves.

It really bothers me that there are kids there. They are being broadcast live worldwide!

[lonetraveler]

Defense stated that witnesses were there for the sentencing phase so why on earth is Judge putting it off until tomorrow?

 

[MsFacetious]

Reminding them not to contact jurors.

 

[Lilibet]

Press told not to contact jurors

That was the prosecution.
This was an extremely emotional thing. It's totally reasonable to delay it until tomorrow. Both families will be extremely emotional. Give them a day to recover.
