"If you live by the sword you will die by the sword." That includes people who demand the death of another person. Yes, their behavior is over the top. Yes they should be locked up for eternity. However, it is not for the "norm" to pass judgement in regards to another human being continuance of life and time of death. That is why we have judges and jurors. That is why we have prisons. Maybe some of the prisons should employ more psychiatrists and priests rather then guards. Maybe some of the cells should be painted pink or yellow and have padding in them. Maybe they shouldn't have weight rooms, televisions, and cigarettes available to them. Maybe they shouldn't have contact with other in-mates. There are many ways to deal with abusive, ugly, unlawful behavior.

Jmchez - very good question. I would absolutely not want to be either of these dudes' defense attorney. This poor woman's family. I'd want to kill them myself.

OK, what exactly is the defense strategy here? Can't be that the witnesses are unreliable, or that the wrong guys got fingered. What then? Stress made them do it?
