One could only imagine what it was like for these jurors to go through all of this, their lives changed forever. Bless them and Naiya. Now we will have to wait and see if appellant court has any kind of backbone common sense.

i can tell by the look in her eyes, and her finger on the trigger.

Gawds reach is far. So far as to say, the world would be less populated, by our own hands, if we abided by his word.

D(Neptune)? It's where I stopped reading, and trust me I won't be waiting for the second part. The Senator from California has done more for this country than most. Take it from my gun totin' liberal ass, no one wants your guns.

There are too many controversial issues in society but of course it is difficult to find a one size fits all solution from government because of the variety of situations or possibilities out there. It takes discernment but it is difficult to pass any laws or encourage good behavior for the fear there might be discrimination accidentally introduced.

So I think that idea in itself prevents any solutions.

My story about the knife came from when I was raising and riding horses. I bought a veterinarian's manual from a prominent graduate of UC Davis in California. She also had years of experience and I often referred to her advice on how to handle the various health problems or anything else that could happen. In her book, she advised that it is always useful to have a knife with you in case you get tangled up in a rope or even to save the animal if they are caught up into something. I took that advice, but luckily never needed it because I was always thinking of safety. That was a hefty knife capable of cutting through a lariat rope or lead rope in a few seconds. The old cowboys might have said, it comes in hand in a pinch and I remembered some of the horror stories dad told about that. He said great grandpa would sit on the corner of the corral on the fence post with a rifle in case the cowboy got all hung up on a raunchy bronc. Probably a scene nobody would want to witness and it wasn't rodeos if great grandpa was involved.
As it turns out, the time I used a knife to save a kid was when I attended a Fleetwood Mac concert in California. It was a daytime festival with food and there were lots of people there including families and small children. Out of nowhere in the crowd, a young boy came up to me in a panic and I asked him what was wrong. He showed me his arm and either him or someone else had put a plastic tie wrap on his wrist. It was pulled down so tight you could see it was cutting off the circulation. I hesitated because I wanted to first look for his parents but it was a big crowd and I had no idea where he came from.

So, I reached down into my levi's pocket and pulled out this little tiny white bone handled knife my dad had given me. It was only about a 2 inch blade. I cut the tie wrap off the kids arm. He was instantly relieved and said thanks mister.

For whatever reason, of all the people in that crowd, he ran straight to me. I think I was at that right place at the right time for that one reason.

Thank you to the jurors for giving this scum just what he deserves! It may take a while to finally get him put down but he is definitely headed to where he belongs....HELL!!! I hope while waiting to get his death injection other prisoners will have their "turn" with him, he deserves NO MERCY!!!! May he burn slowly when he gets to HELL!!!

So, we will probably have to keep him up the rest of his life. He couldn't write...because he didn't want to learn how. His disabilities did not seem that drastric, not really mentally challenged....just didn't want to do any of it. He had resourses and help, so he didn't just fall throug the cracks. To no avail....his choice. They did however, manage to boost him on out of high school. He is a waste to society and I believe a threat to society, doubt very seriously he will quit drinking and drugs. And, apparently vengeful and danger when drinking. Why do we think we have to babysit these people the rest of their lives?

Every time I read about a pit bull attack, I post the same comments, almost word-by-word. Of course, thoughts and prayers to the victim. Hope for a full recovery. But, I really do not understand the hatred coming towards this specific breed. As all pit bull owners would testify, pit bulls are the sweetest, cuddliest, kindest pets anyone could have. They are especially very fond of little children and even more so of babies. Why do we have to make so much noise if some pit bulls kill a couple of hundred people and other animals every year? When did we become so touchy - feely, so wishy - washy? Why is it so easy to blame an entire breed just because of a couple of hundred deaths? I don't understand this. Stop blaming an entire breed for the deaths of people, babies, and other pets.

The founding fathers of my United States of America, built our great country on the belief in God and established a government that was never intended to infringe on those rights... I don't know what makes you think that the six million Jews killed by Nazi Germany would be a different than the reported 44.5 million legal induced abortions from 1970-2014 according to the CDC. You did say the Jews were a "group of living people purposefully murdered in cold blood".

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) just released their 2018-2022 plan, which unequivocally states that life begins at conception and deserves protection.

With God's word stating that life begins at conception and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in agreement, I believe you could say that all of those 44.5 million babies were a "living people who were purposefully murdered in cold blood as well. But since my government has gotten away from it's founding and we passed a law legalizing these deaths nobody seems to mind, in fact anyone who questions it, especially a man, gets a bunch of flak from women who want to feel justified in their own actions and beliefs... I'm not justified by myself or by anyone else, I'm justified by my God and I don't need another persons acceptance my actions or beliefs to feel better. How dare the millions who don't recognize this as murder!

I was turned around at the police barricade that night, I had a newspaper delivery on Jones every night. That night, the smell of Meth was in the air so bad it choked you out, I also remember the hazmat truck out there complete with the guys wearing chem suits... I always wondered why none of that was reported...
I assumed it was because of busts that were going on at that time and not wanting to alert the dealers that S.A.P.D. was on the hunt but it seemed weird that I witnessed the truck and suits out there and was blasted with the horrendous meth cloud in the air as well... I thought that it was a meth lab that burned down, it shocked me to see the report said it was a space heater? I believe the family had a go fund me page set up as well. Wonder what the truth was here?

How dare you compare a Nazi concentration camp, the genocide of a group of people, living people purposefully murdered in cold blood, to abortion and womens right to choose. I understand you have a free speech in your country, but that does not make it "right or moral" just because you can, does not mean you should.

While I'm on a kick, it seems that many of the folks ranting here lately have had problems with the way that our tax money has been being put to work and also how our judicial system works as well... As far as I can tell we are supposed to support our government up to the degree that it makes laws against what God's word says.

Romans 13:1-4 Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you. The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong. So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience.

I know that most folks nowadays don't believe in the word of God as the absolute truth and I used to be among those ranks, I don't want anyone to feel like I believe I am better than ya'll, I'm not. There are only 2 types of people, those saved by God's grace in sending His son Jesus to die for our sins and those who reject Him at his word, I am forever thankful that I have been redeemed by Jesus work on the cross and proud to be one of his children!

I don't expect the whole of society to "abide" by my morals... God knows I fall short of my own morals and very short of His. Legally speaking, any woman who gets pregnant can kill her unborn child if she wants to and I'm not stopping her.

I believe that life begins in the womb but these are not my morals... These are the morals we were given by God ages ago so try not to be upset with me for I am merely a representative of His, it is God you should take up your beef with.

Psalm 139:13-16 NIV
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

My Creator, God, does not require of me a "womb" to believe this therefore I rebut your argument that this is a requirement to share my understanding of God's truth with you or any other woman.

I would also like to add that I understand it has to be a tremendous burden to undergo an abortion even if you don't agree with what God says about it, in no way am I bashing women for making that decision, I am just speaking the truth of God's word concerning the subject.

These dogs/any dog is worth more than half the human population and if the a__holes that get an animal and neglect, abuse and mistreat them were held accountable better yet had a taste of the same treatment they inflict on an animal then maybe things would change.

I don't disagree with much of your statement I'm just saying to a juror it shouldn't be taken into account. It's a defense attorney trick.
