VA Death Penalty

Curious about opinions here..and not trying to make this a death penalty thread.

Read the entire article and also the Washington Post link in it...interesting case

So she's borderline mentally retarded and has the mental capacity of a 13 year old...yet she has become a counselor to other women.

Really?

Little fishy here. She gets executed, while the others involved get life sentences? Something doesn't smell right in this case.

I guess you can say we are in agreement?

She should have either been sentenced to life like the others.. or the other two sentenced to death like her.

a little consistency here courts!!! are the judges also racing stewards?

I've been going through abuse cases at work and then reading cases like this just leaves you shaking your head and sad. I'm not sure how I feel about the sentence given though...

The part that bothers me the most is making her daughter have sex with the co-conspiriator, to kill others in her family. I know she isn't to bright but that is inexcusable.

Does a 41 yo woman, with the mental capacity if a 13 yo form sentences like this?

"Knowing that I was part of it, of taking her family away and my participation in it, I don't think there's enough words to even begin to tell her how sorry I am," she said. "Even good people and Christian people, all people, can make a wrong decision and end up being where I'm at."
