I'm adamantly against the death penalty. However, this is a "death qualified" jury, meaning they reassured the court that they would have no qualms applying the death penalty, should they feel it warranted. I do believe that his crime is among the most haneous. I don't believe there is anything worse than killing your wife and unborn child, a child weeks from being born, a wife you vowed to love and protect, who trusted you, then dumping their bodies in a watery graveI do belive that spending 40 plus years in prison would be his own personal hell.
I couldn't believe Gergagos' arugment! He was so arrogant and smug and self assured during the trial and in my opinion, his arrogance and ego helped condemn this man. He didn't believe the jury would convict him??? He should have assumed he would be found guilty in order to prepare the most effective defense. He should have been preparing the penalty trial from day one! In my opinion, Geragos' arrogance is a perfect fit for his client. My heart breaks for his poor family. They loved, coddled, protected him for his entire life. What he has done to them, in addition to Lacey and Conner, is unforgiveable.
