Had this thug been executed before now the 3 families would still have their loved ones. Prior to this crime, what would you have executed him for? Just curious. If he is found guilty in a triple murder, I hope they execute him now, but I see nothing in his past which warranted that penalty. Another question which needs to be asked is why this person could never be rehabilitated in prison? Why did he come out more dangerous than when he went in?

Frankly the whole theory of rehabilitation doesn't have a whole lot of statistical support and re-incarceration rates are very high. Prisons are overcrowded so anyone but the worst violent offenders get dumped back on the streets by the courts far before their sentence is supposed to be up. If anything being in prison culture reinforces the belief that theft and violence are a way of life and some criminals use the time to build up knowledge and networks for future criminal enterprises.

I remember seeing this story break out here in Kansas City. The girl was from Blue Springs MO, a nurse and a mother of two. The news team sent a reporter to her parents house. I suspect she got hooked on meth and met this deadbeat in that underworld.

I wonder what kind of prison sentence she will receive. The dude will likely be looking at the death penalty if he was the one that fired the gun. She may too depending on the scope of her involvement in the robbery and planning.

She has no criminal history in Missouri. Not even a speeding ticket-that's tough to pull off in this state.

I agree with the brit. I think we need a lottery system to make examples out of some of these repeat offenders who don't deserve a life on this planet. Put it on pay-per-view. It's not really what this world needs but .. we've already got it, well heck all I see on TV is killing.
I hate seeing people taken down like this. Her sentence will be light, folks usually get out in something like 7 years for murder.

No lottery needed, just a Three Strikes law, three felonies and you are executed, no appeals, no pleas, lights out.

Probably need some refinement on that - due process is a right of the citizens of our country. Copy right infringement, Fraud, vandalism on federal property, parole violation, threatening an official, to name a few can all be felonies. I really do not see any one of them as worth the death penalty after 3 times.

At least Mississippi still prosecutes and sentences the guilty instead of letting them loose after a week in detention.
I can't wait to make it home.

I shake my head when I hear on the news about some suspect who has had their 20th or 30th arrest for petty crimes and then get picked up for a serious crime that could have easily have been prevented... What do you do?...

What do you do?... How about a long sentence (like life in prison without parole) for serial killers or violent serial offenders? After being locked up, if they kill prison guards or other prisoners, or escape and murder people again, then the death penalty seems appropriate.
