I imagine a lot of people won't care because it's a murderer but it sets an awful precedent that gay people will get worse sentences than straight people. If a straight person would have gotten life without parole than a gay person should get the same. It's very much the case that they made the decision to kill this man because he was gay. That's not justice, that's responding to an awful crime with a hate crime. |

He murdered someone,so I am not really bothered what happens to him,whether he is gay or not is irrelevant,he took someones life and made their family suffer forever.

i guess, but i also think the point is being missed a bit. it’s the fact that the punishment is being increased because of his sexuality that is wrong.

Are we sure about that though Matthew , or is the press being over exuberant again, you know how they like to embellish things.

Wrong...unless you want to take the apologist approach to this subject. It really doesn't, I think you three have completely missed the point of why this ruling could potentially be a concern. |

so you agree with a gay murderer being treated worse than a straight one?

If the jurors actually made that decision based on his sexuality then surely that's grounds for a new sentencing hearing? That's horrendous, it's like saying straight women can't be raped because they like men.

If this report is true then South Dakota has really hit the ****ter.
You won't get the death penalty for being a murderer, but you will get the death penalty for being gay? Wtf!

That's horrific
Yes he commited an awful crime but to give him a harsher sentence based on his sexuality and the odd belife a gay man would enjoy prison life is plain and simple homophobic.

The question I would ask is has there been any similar case where a jury decided that a straight male would be better sentenced to death than life imprisonment.

I never said that though did I ? of course gay or straight should be treated equally,what I actually said was do we actually know it's true or have the press embellished it as they are prone to do.

Even if true, which seems highly unlikely in PC America, he won’t be executed - they might even let him out now for all he has been put through in this crazy, mixed-up world of ours. I hope not though as like all murderers he is a scumbag. Last edited by Brillopad; 24-06-2018 at 08:48 PM. |

The whole thing is too ridiculous to even have an opinion on. Sounds like a fake story to create the inevitable hysterical effect.
