Did I say he was a murderer? I said he was a conman. Admitted. He admitted he conned Amber Frye into believing he was a widower. I said he would hurt many more people. Conmen have a way of doing that. I am still glad he's off the street.

Maybe he should be "taken off the streets" if found guilty of being a conman. But he wasn't charged for that in this particular case airehead.
The jury was charged with the task of deciding if he was guilty of murder. As someone who was previously charged with a crime I didn't commit, I'm sure glad the jury (in my trial) listened to the evidence presented and considered the actual charges at hand (not something else).

Bottom line, I just gave the opinion that I'm glad he's off the street. One way or the other. The jury made the decision and I am saying that I am glad he's behind bars.
I wasn't commenting on the case or whether or not he's a murderer or whatever. Just a personal observation that I'm glad he's not able to hurt more people.
I know he wasn't charged for that crime, I'm aware of that. I'm just personally glad he can't hurt anyone else. I can't change the opinion of the jury by my commentary.
And I'm making no legal commentary because I don't have the full facts/info the jury had. I refuse to armchair quarterback. That is very dangerous and pointless.
Just an opinion that this is a dangerous guy and maybe his Karma finally caught up to him.
As for your case, I have no comment. I don't know the facts and I can't speculate. This is the only case I was commenting on because it is a done deal and nothing will change with my OPINION.
If I wanted to get into the legal ramifications as to what he was tried for and why, I might come up with a very different conclusion. Then again, I might not. But, that wasn't the point of my commentary. I have no business discussing the legal intricacies of this case because it would be like a plumber discussing the finer points of brain surgery. Both very necessary skills, but polar opposites in tools and ability required. 
JUST AN OPINION.

Interesting. Did you feel at times like the outcome was questionable or did you have faith in the system and your jury while it was going on?

Not really. Unless a brain dead jury was selected, I was going to beat the charges. My biggest worry was that the jury wouldn't stay awake and/or listen to the evidence at my one day trial. My lawyer was excellent. And the charges were pretty flimsy, at best.
I would have appealed it all the way to the US Supreme Court, if the outcome wasn't correct though.

That's definitely a more palatable way to look at having to pay to keep him in prison for life, and pretty much the reason why I am torn. Life in prison as a known child murderer and "pretty-faced white boy" could obviously be way more hellish for him than a quick, painless death. Thanks for the perspective, Go. |
Well, my perspective is that of a religious standpoint, and since I believe in Heaven and Hell, I'd have to believe that letting him stay here is totally the easy way out for him. If they do the lethal injection thing, maybe he won't have time to sincerely repent, and maybe then he'd go to Hell. That, IMO, has got to be worse than jail.
I'm not saying I wish that on him, I'm just saying from my perspective, the quick and painless is anything but, considering Judgment Day. It's only those until God gets a hold of him. JMO.
