Charles Manson was sentenced to death, but oops, California abolished the death penalty right after his hearing. I guess it's reinstated now, but no retrial for Charlie.

I'm glad Scott Peterson got the death sentence. He is a disgusting, unfaithful asshole that I hope suffers slow and painfully for what he did to his pregant wife.

She didn't deserve to die, she didn't do anything wrong, but that idiot of a so-called "faithful" husband wanted to be with another woman, so he killed his wife and the unborn child.

AC's right. He killed her so he didn't have to go through a divorce that would cost him money. What a coward. And I also think that rehabilitation is ineffective, especially in this case. What he did was cold, calculated, and without cause. He took a daughter and a grandson from some people who trusted and loved him and took him into their family.

And he did it without regret or second thought.

I say they should tie weights to his ankles and throw him in the water. Bring him up after a minute, so he's not dead... then do it again so he drowns. Once for each person he did that to. First time scares him, second time kills him. That's what should happen to him.

And, regardless of how well the system works here, the fact is that this man deserves nothing more than death.

The death penalty strikes me odd. It's like saying "You can't kill people, but we can." On the other hand, this man was human garbage and really doesn't deserve pleasant treatment.

The fact that his prison cell overlooks the bay where his wife's body was discarded adds insult to injury. Quite frankly, I'm glad it's over.

That's exactly what I think about this.

I dont think he should be put to death. i dont even think he should of gotten murder. there was no real physical proof. manslaughter. 25 years. ok.. but putting a guy to death. and then letting another guy go scott free because he was in a TV show 20 years ago.. the american criminal system is a joke.

touche'. Still, I think the case could be made that the death penalty is cruel and is in violation of the 8th amendments.

In the long run it's no skin off my back. I'd feel safer at night knowing there is one less asshole out their murdering pregnant women.

But you have to look at amendment in the context of when it was written to understand the admendments intent. Every state had the death penalty when the bill of rights was added to the constitution, the 8th admendment is about torture not execution.

Yeah I agree with Jo Dawn on this one. The death penalty is too simple. He killed his own wife and un born baby and all he gets is a needle? He should have absolutely everything done to him that is horrible. Burned, Shot, Drowned, etc. Just make sure everything doesnt kill him before he drowns.

Give the guy shock treatments.Most of these guys should be locked up in the loony bin.A couple weeks ago.Police were searching a farm in Alberta the guy was growing drugs.

The Guy comes back later has a high powered rifle shots 4 cops dead.This guy should have been locked away to begin with.The guy was a troublemaker from the start.

Keep the wackos locked up and off the streets.

Let me make it clear - my last post about prisoners used as guinea pigs was sarcastic and full of irony.

You have no idea how much faith in humanity that sentence just restore within me...

Thanks. Sorry for going off on your post so much, but stuff like that always makes me angry beyond thought.

What the hell... I hate the death penalty. I mean, Peterson is a digusting exammple of humanity (along with many others), but you're doing the same thing he did: Murdering. -_-
