Yeah they kind of gave up on Holloway. I was thinking of starting a band called "The Natalie Holloway's."

First off concerning the sociopath aspect of Caylee. Not all sociopaths are killers, most are clever enough to avoid violent confrontations. This was most likely manslaughter. It was probably an accident. Any two-bit attorney will be able to avoid the death penalty. But still I wouldn't mind seeing the bitch burn.

And Casey pleads not guilty. What court is going to refute this evidence? Feel bad for Fla. taxpayers.

Send her to the chair!

I am gonna watch Nancy Grace tonite since some really new stuff is happening.

I heard Casey ,the Tot Mom, had left a diary behind with entries in late June (after the kid 'disapeared' ) that say things like ' I am really happy for the first time in a long time." and ' I did the right thing.'

*waits for media to care about non-white child that has been kidnapped or killed*

I have only skimmed this site, if I had a toddler or a tween or a teen I sure would.

The state is going for the death penalty. Hopefully Fla. will fry her like they did Aileen Wuornos.

good, they are your fellow human beings; everyone is someone's child; eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

 it's only by the grace of god that you are currently a comfy dude posting on the internet, and not an insane person.
 

Animals that misbehave or are terminally ill either get a shot to the head or heart. It's as just and sympathetic as any natural law.

Keeping people alive for as long as possible under the pretense of civility is a logical fallacy, if there ever was one.

Is there a TPG contest going on for the most cliches in a single post?

It's interesting that many people who seem to distrust the media on most issues are willing to convict and execute based on evidence from that same source.

"Since the death penalty was reinstated in the U.S. in 1976, 1,020 men and women have been executed, with more than one-third--362--put to death in Texas.

Although more than 100 people have been released from Death Row in the U.S. during that time, no government authority has concluded that an innocent person was executed." from the ChiTrib.

So my question to you is are you willing to accept an mistaken execution of yourself or someone you care about as the price for the death penalty?

PS for Fud; You must be loving the Amanda Knox circus, eh?  'She's white, she's cute, she's local.  SHE's INNOCENT!'  Anyway, CBS(?) said she was so it must be true. (For the sake of clarity, I'm not saying she is guilty.  I am saying that people seem to have the tendency to prejudge cases based on the appearance of the individual in question.)

 i completely agree that the modern prison system is ridiculous, and based on nothing.

however, neither you nor i nor anyone else is wise enough or has a moral ground high enough to literally decide who lives and who dies. i mean there's cases like those somali pirates where a clear wrong is in progress and needs to be stopped, and then there's barbaric "steve hurt someone so steve should be hurt back" horseshit which is literally how children think and deal with problems.

i can't wait to see the intellectual gymnastics needed for pro-state-sponsored-murder/pro-vigilante justice individuals to justify this. i'm betting on "no mistakes have ever been made" with a side of "if you're truly innocent you have nothing to fear." though it's possible they'll just ignore the meat of the question and attack you for asking it, or just ignore the question outright.

bonus points for anyone who believes in a deity, and thinks they have a right to kill his children!

Mistakenly executed, or mistakenly sentenced to die in prison- what's the difference? Blame the crooked and misguided legal process, not the punishment. It's the most popular argument against the death penalty, but it doesn't hold much water. And like most liberal arguments, it's based on emotions and naive idealism.

There's no mental gymnastics necessary getting to the meat of that one: it's a risk worth taking, if we are to have ANY faith in the criminal justice system at all.

I've been following this story, too:

Clearly, Huckaby, the Cali. Sunday school teacher who raped and killed the girl that was missing and threw her body in a pond, is not right in the head.

Does that mean America should reach out and try to rehabilitate her because she's someone's child? Give her a private, safe room with cable and plenty of food for 30-60 years? Seriously. Fuck a bunch of that.
