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

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.

It got investigated, that's all I wanted.

can we now have your reaction?

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 , 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 ! .

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.
