I being the hard ass that I am find myself in a quandry over this. The bible states that you should abide by the laws,
but in medieval times these were horrific laws and sentences at times with no logical justice ==so who is to say their laws are better or worse?The bible also says that thou shalt not kill, but it also says an eye for an eye. I want to say, gut him,and let the buzzards finish, but then ...who am I to judge a life? My gut feeling is to make an example of him to deter any others in his wake.He is clearly the villain--- an eye for an eye.
In Casey Anthony's case, the court has made its decision by a jury and we must respect that. We all think she killed her daughter, just like we think O.J. killed Nicole, jurisprudence was done by jury and all we have is the media to base our verdicts on--like a thumbs up or down as the way we see it from the stands, and god forbid we repeat history-- just in a different forum.
