The penalty for death is death.. however in this case it is understandable given some of the variables.. But no, having a roof over your head, three square meals a day, health benefits and conjugal visits hardly seems like an equivalent punishment, considering there are some good folk in the world who have committed no crimes and have far less than that!
something to think about when pondering the 'harshness of her sentence'
all the best
Quite relevant when you write this:
I am sure that solaces them that their daughter was brutally murdered to a woman who gets off after a mere slap on the wrist. Also the crime isn't simply about those left behind and where they find their solace, but to the life snuffed out at 22!
What does this have to do with anything written. 'second chances' are divine in quality.. we are still bound by earthly justice and laws while here!
Its easy to be an armchair general such as yourself, and saying that she deserves this or that... As for me I rather withold judgement, as I was not there to see the circusmtances of this crime by myself, I take account of the info but I dont go on rambling about issues in which I am not an expert.
cutting class and herbing up is stupid.. murder is a cardinal sin!
The faith isn't ours to keep or give away, as stated repentance is a matter divine in nature!
How so?
I didn't decide her judgment, folks presented with the facts of her case decided on a guilty verdict.. whereas I personally believe in the death penalty, I believe given the circumstances of this case, the sentence is appropriate.. spare me your satisfaction of overly simplistic conclusions!
How so?
Good for you!
If you were that Girls mother you would probably have the same reaction, you would be in denial at first ''could my little girl really be a murderer?'' and '' where did we go wrong?''
Given that it is her step-mother (If you were indeed following the case), I would indeed question where I went wrong!
Again, the girl is neither 26 nor is the lady on TV her actual mother ( have you been following the case?) you should generally educate yourself on a topic before writing about it.. I don't need to take her shoes-- people generally shouldn't raise their daughters to be w*ores who enjoy orgies and forcing roommates into sex games, be druggies and/or murderers.. it isn't common even in the west.. certainly evil has been born of good and vice versa.. what did Noah (P) do t save his son or Abraham (p) to his father? again, food for thought before the self-righteous humbug of peering through a murderers point of view!
I think you are having difficulty following both the case and the thread.. you know it is OK to walk away if you have nothing of substance to impart!
Again, good for you-- you do that!
By the way, i heard that there is now appeal. US will intervene/pressure to get Amanda get out of the country based on misused trial, possible?
My heart goes to Meredith Kercher and her families in this difficult times,
"I think the best way to say it is we are very satisfied with the verdict," said John Kercher, Jr., seated between his parents, and Meredith's other surviving siblings Lyle and Stephanie. "Ultimately we are pleased with the decision but it's not time for celebration. We are gathered here because our sister was brutally murdered, taken away from us."
defense lawyers had aggressively attacked both the validity of the material evidence in the case, and the prosecution's lively theory of a "sex game gone wrong," but the Kercher family expressed no doubts. "I would say if the evidence has been presented then you have to agree with that," said Arline Kercher, Meredith's mother. "At the end of the day you have to go on the evidence, there is nothing else."
