***Jury Recommends DEATH for Mark Sievers*** Penalty/Sentencing Phase

Watched Dateline from On Demand. They did a good job. Was something to see Mark's O'scared ($h#tless) winning performance, particularly AFTER the detective left the room. Mark may be a stand out in Talent Night on Death Row. He's now living reality and it's no reality show... it 's real life now Marko.

California Courts - Appellate Court Case Information

05/13/2020 Case ordered on calendar To be argued on Tuesday, June 2, 2020, at 1:30 pm, in San Francisco. Counsel to appear via video or teleconference per Administrative Orders 2020-03-13 (March 16, 2020) and 2020-03-27 (March 27, 2020).

Also:
NOTICE OF APPEARANCE AND DESIGNATION OFE-MAIL ADDRESSES PURSUANT TO RULE 2.516 KAREN M. KINNEY, Assistant Public Defender, hereby appears as attorney for MARK SIEVERS and designates the following e-mail addresses for the purpose of service of all documents required to be served in this proceeding.

 

i'm lost... this is for Scott Peterson, in San Fran......... not Mark Sievers. Did i get lost or miss something?

 

Oops - I combined the two - sorry! The second section is for Sievers....

 

Can some one please explain all the above court proceedings? I am confused.

I get a new appointed lawyer that the citizens of Florida re paying for since MM left felon MS. But what else is all the jargon about?

Just keep the felon in prison.

 

Another change of Counsel, Christina Z Pacheco is now representing the state in the appeal.

 

What is the reason for this recommendation?

 

Gosh I watched something on this last night.
It’s soooo disgusting how he cries when TS mom is doing her victim statement about how this beautiful soul was TAKEN from her.
Mark’s forced sobs with faux trembling lips, his head nodding “no”.
What an act. He doesn’t get it. Even the hired murderer has remorse. Mark is just rotten evil IMO.

 

Mark still has legal rights just like the other ***'s in prison or jail . Don't worry, his game is finished. JMO

 

Narcissists and the gaslighting they do prevents them to never get it into reality. He is a lost cause!

Hey Mark, I'm sure you have ppl telling you what has been said about you here on WS. You lost your life for good! Have fun with that!!

JMO

 

I think the reason is quite simple: he's a psychopath and he deserves the death penalty.
Life in prison is a waste of money for these psychos.

 

I think what it is--it's that when someone gets the death penalty, their lawyer has to pretend they care about the defendant and file an appeal, even if they realize their client is a vile, demonic murderer. I don't know if this is an automatic procedure in the state of Florida, or nationwide in the USA. But, it is certainly a waste of time and money, and space.

The minute these horrific creatures (psychopathic or otherwise), get convicted they should be immediately kicked out the door, right into an incinerator. My Opinion Only.

 

This man is despicable. He had his wife beaten to death while he "hid" at her parents home with her children...using her own parents and children as his alibi.
You can't really get much lower than that.
Oh wait, you can cry like a sniveling ****** in court for your own sorry soul.

 

Thanks for posting this comment on another thread:

Tomorrow, Sun. Oct.18th, 2020, on the Court TV channel, at 8pm EST, the series JUDGMENT WITH ASHLEIGH BANFIELD will showcase " Florida v. Sievers".

I think this 43 minute program is worth watching for those who followed this vile murder to it's conclusion. Below @Arachne 1's comment you can find my comment which has a link to an online google web cache of the program. Google caches don't last indefinitely, but it's working now.

 

Your all right. He deserves to get a needle or spark parade. No justification for this. None. Divorce is hard yet simple when folks understand civility and what it means especially for children. Instead, the 3 stooges decided to beat her to death. But,
I'm mixed. I'd love to watch him take his last breath yesterday. Yet respect her daughter's for not wanting it. I believe, no convinced they need him alive not 4 any relationship but one day they will want answers, from him. From his mouth, not a relative's, reporter or court records. He needs to be around just for that. I enjoy the thought of him in a 6x10 cage till he dies. Having this continually playing in your head. Thinking what if? forever. Gotta suck. But for them, I'll always maintain they will need that to heal and move on. Jmo
Anyone know if a books coming? Shows are ok but books usually have deep background on how these clowns came to be. Idk, I feel strongly theres more to this. What, pffft. I just cant finger it but man ......
Anyway, hope all are being safe, please please wear your masks and stay home as much as possible!! Ok bye. Luckys poof

 

Sadly, no one is ever going to get any real answer from him. it's all about him and he will say whatever he needs at any given moment for his own purposes. He cares about no one but himself.

 

Just looked on the court docket - here's a ton of updates on his appeal since last time I posted it.
