Good. He just sits there like a bump on a log.

Judge Griffith has entered the courtroom, calling for both sides to not show too much emotion once the sentence is read. He then calls for the jury.

The jury has walked into the courtroom. A sentence expected any moment.

It’s kinda weird that after him just sitting there for weeks doing nothing, he suddenly is all chatty with everybody at the defense table.

 

[Pilo]

Definitely no conscience there

When I got the alert that a verdict had been reached so fast.... you know that smile the grinch does? Yeah I did that.

Families suffer constantly for loved ones crimes. Kids visit parents in prison, we don't let people out to spare their families.

Really it was about all the defense had. Other than maybe "think what the kids would want you to do". Both equally weak when up against the states argument.

 

[MsFacetious]

Oh, I need to watch it again as I must have missed the part about Merah and the cigarettes.

Do share I missed it too.

 

[lonetraveler]

He totally deserves the death penalty. Thank you to the jury for a just verdict and sentencing.

 

[Pilo]

Lawyer probably milking information or "raw "emotions" for book deal

 

[JenNJ]

Those jurors are amazing, so glad they gave him death penalty. I really think this was all revenge on Amber. I don’t think he’s crazy, he used those kids every chance he got to cause her pain. MOO

 

[StarryStarryNight]

That flat affect from the psychosis apparently has disappeared. Guess he’s cured suddenly.

 

[Pilo]

can anybody here read lips? very curious as to all that chit chat going on

In the eyes of the state of South Carolina and 12 jurors, Merah, Elias, Nahtahn, Gabriel, and Abigail (Elaine) received justice for their deaths.

We have crossed the one-hour mark in jury deliberations.

The countdown is on!

ETA: Sorry, didn't realize the verdict was already in!

 

[Spellbound]

Relieved this part is over. Little ones, rest peacefully now; you are loved and will be remembered.

Had not expected DP, honestly, and not sure how I feel about it either. But he'll probably still die of natural causes anyway, if the milieu doesn't get him somehow. This jury can now also go back to happier things, to life. I have such admiration and respect for them.

I AM glad he will be isolated, none of this : "he can tutor inmates" thank goodness. That was such hogwash! Wouldn't he have LOVED that, being all high and mighty, lording it over the lowly ignorants. Perfect narcissist fuel. No, this is better. Let his cell be like a grave with nothing else to do but day in day out think of the 5 promises he snuffed out.

Peace to Amber and the five children that never got to fulfill their promise.
