Turcotte verdict brought tears to many eyes

[Asiel]

Must be our new Justice system taking over-- first Casey, now Turcotte.
So now if someone id depressed over a broken marriage it's okay to kill your kids.........SICK.

Just goes to show that a lawyer will try to get his client off even with murder, even when they know without a doubt that this person is guilty.
I believe that is NOT their job.
From what I understand their job is to make sure they get a fair trial not to break the law and get away with murder.
They are officers of the court. But their concern is just about their career and money. Letting a murderer go is not a big deal if they get the raise.

Sometimes I think results like this are better than the death penalty.

Even if he 'snapped' and the mental illness theory is true, his life is finished. Who will love him? Who can trust him? He can never rebuild a brilliant career, if he gets a job at all.

It's a lifetime of solitary, with the memory of what he did. If his tears and grief were real, that torture will be compounded.

I suspect he will do himself in at some point.

I don't know look at OJ and the nutcase women who loved him after he killed Nicole and Ron or all the women who write and marry men in jail.
Bunch of freaking nut jobs.

That's all they'll get - nutcases. Obsession isn't love - it's just obsession.

I meant more the love one has from friends and family; having a community. He's in isolation for the rest of his life, IMO.
