But wouldnt it have been a bit boring if I just said 'Guilty'

I can agree with that 100%
I'm not sure how I feel about the death penalty. I would rather see 10 guiltily people go free then one innocent be put to death. But like Warlock stated maybe if the punishment is sever enough people will think twice before doing such a terrible crime. Then again look at country’s with dictatorships for governments and you will see punishments that are an eye for an eye and look at all the problems they have even with the harshness of there punishments.
Yes this case hit really close to my heart. Don’t get me wrong I feel very bad for everyone involved, but the poor little boy Conner I feel extremely sad for. Not being able to enjoy being a baby and playing with even a simple rattle
When I think about Conner I get a slight rage that comes over me and wish that they would kill Scott, but then like others have mentioned to me death isn’t good enough for him and he needs to rot in prison before he rots in hell. I also think that if he doesn’t get the death penalty it’s not going to be easy for him in the pen. Even convicts have morals and a guy like Scott wont last long, shoot they might even just kill him in the pen, which would be a much more brutal death then the "human" one he would receive from the state. Now that I think about it he better just hope he does get the death penalty.
This might not have been the best forum to start a topic like this but I have come to enjoy the comments and beliefs of our fellow members here and wonted to hear there thoughts that’s why I chose to ask for opinions here.
We will cross paths again I'm sure Grumpy, and like you said a good debate can’t become until some harshness is served some times.
Maybe I should have made the poll not weather he is innocent or guilty but weather he should get the death penalty or not as that seems to me more of an interesting topic. I should have made the poll privet as well.
