What does gender have to do with killing a killer?
“I am loving and caring person” - except when I’m a psychopathic raging rapist and murderer, that only happens sometimes. >

Not the first time a murderer rapist has been executed though, which is the important thing. >

The issue is that the jury were deadlocked and didn’t rule for the death penalty. Missouri is one of two States (the other being Indiana) that allow a judge to overrule the jury and arbitrarily impose the death sentence. >

I'd be really interested to know what the jury vote on that was. If it was 6 to 6 it would be pretty outrageous that the judge handed down the dp, 11 to 1 maybe not so much. Obviously death penalty opponents were unsuccessful in the appeals courts on this point. >

I did find out that:

[The jury] rejected three out of four aggravating circumstances that would allow for a capital sentence, but couldn't decide on the fourth

This being the case, the judge l’s capital penalty sentence does feel more capricious than not. >

No, how many of the 12 jurors voted for the death penalty vs those who voted against? That they rejected 3 of the 4 aggravating factors is irrelevant because they obviously accepted one which is all you need to impose the death penalty. >


they obviously accepted one

They didn't, though. The jury unanimously rejected 3 factors, but the fourth was split with some jurors rejecting all 4. >

My man, at least some of them voted for the fourth. The question is, how many? >

Gender does not matter when you murder another human being. >

I would bet that it does in most places. >

Murdering rapist put down for their crimes. >

unjustly without a jury
