also, the murder was committed in 1993, there have been 25 years for appeals to be heard .... 25 years!

Oh thats just nasty..all those cute buttocks he has been watching from his cell window, unable to touch.

At least he had something to admire. Pity straight prisoners who eventually end up doing the same :hee:

Spot on my lovely

Well done DI Kirk.

It did seem quite unbelievable that a whole jury would come to the decision of the death penalty ‘because he’s gay’.
You’re maybe likely to get one maybe two homophobics on a jury but not the whole jury.
Atleast somebody would speak out.

The NY Times should be ashamed of themselves.They’ve made their agenda pretty transparent.

Not to mention some of those on here. Commonsense flies out the window when there is an agenda on the table.

So true ,its par for the course and pretty boring now too

It got investigated, that's all I wanted.

ALL.:nono:

Yes that's what I said?

:nono:

My reaction to what?

The point of the discussion was whether a man deserved a harsher punishment due to his sexuality.

This got twisted into people suggesting a murderer didn't deserve a harsh sentence for murder.

That's misrepresenting what was being talked about and what my post was directed at.

I don't recall stating I knew how and why the jury came to the decision they did.

Yeah I only realised last night that it was an old case !!! Jeez :facepalm: , so yeah plenty of time indeed . And let's not forget a horrible murder was committed so I have no sympathy for the criminal, especially when he bragged in Glee about what he'd done,no shed of remorse . Truly disgusting ! , sympathy should go towards the victim's family.

The responses were as if this happened this year ! :bored: .

The sun must be messing with my head, when I read your post my first though was "He was in Glee?" :facepalm:

:joker: No

Totally agree, any pity should go to the victim and their family

:clap1:
So true !
My thoughts as well

And even if the jury were predjudiced AF ! it would of been investigated for a fair outcome.

And usually juries are supposed to be a mixture of different people both men & women & diverse .

The responses were solely on the idea that someone's sentenced could be changed based on their sexuality.

I don't think anyone questions the seriousness and horror of the crime committed. Nor would they have sympathy for such a criminal.
