WOW people standing in the back of the court room for the verdict.

Honesty I can't feel good to send a person to death.

Jurors literally sign a death warrant with their signatures.

Judge receiving the verdicts, after expressing heartfelt and somewhat emotional thanks to the jury and his staff:

 

[SuziQ]

Verdict: Death

Honesty I can't feel good to send a person to death.

I'd be ok with death, but I think 51 years before parole may be the best soluction if it isn't death. That gives the criminal some hope which might make it far easier for the prison guards who have to manage criminals in prison.

It. Is. Death.

 

[SuziQ]

No reaction from Davidson that I see.

Sounds like this jury was shocked and stunned by this crime, but still took this duty very seriously and themselves are emotionally damaged by it

I sure wish LD was made to sit there and face the families as the verdicit is read.

Gary Christian is staring holes through him right now.

 

[SuziQ]

Death, death, death.

I agree, I feel emotionally damaged by it and I didn't see any of the pictures or the anguish on the families faces. I'm bout in tears right now. WOW
