GOSH--  If this wasn't sooooooo sad it would be hilarious--reading all these "comments"--it's so clear that most of the posters do NOT read the rules-Good ol   "Bakersfield-ee-nns"  --( type o's are on purpose -BTW )

 As far as WHY am I here??     Well--because I have an interest  in this case since I lived in Bakersfield when it happened and it's my right--doesn't mean I have to state ALL my opinions and views...

Sooooooo if you will excuse me-- I think I'll go out and enjoy my own little corner of this world.. NOT in Bakersfield--

NO OFFENSE    lol.

"You've been reported, Random Red Factor. You're the clown: atheist-socialist one post; quoting Screepture the next. Or perhaps you're just schizophrenic: a reading of your emotional rants seems to suggest as much. "

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You are scarring me. LOL!

NO, you missed the point, Anny: RF yawped "what would Jesus do"?  Scroll up a few dozen posts, if you have the GUI skills for that.  Sort of a moot point anyways, since this is a secular society, and not based on Scripture (tho' it's not consistent anyway).   The point is that the anti-death penalty people will whine for months about Brothers (or a Tookie), but few liberals said anything about the railroading of Scott Peterson (and people associated with the case admit there was little or no hard evidence connecting him to Laci's death) . Scott Peterson was on the national hysteria news, 24/7 for a few months; Vince Brothers--whose crime was quite more heinous than that of Peterson's (if SP did it at all) ---barely made it out of Kern .   

It's just some of his followers I can't stomach.

Jesus save us... from your followers.

Note how one of the regular BC comrades, Random Factor (and acknowledged atheist), has no problem invoking Jee-suss when it comes to opposing the death penalty  (or furthering his own agenda) . 

Boy did you miss the point of the random's post. Not surprising. Boy that skull is pretty fuzzy. What are you smoking?

Jesus never said "Vengeance is mine."  That was Paul.  ('Course, he got a *LOT* of stuff wrong...)

.

Why not invoke Jee-zus, Pere?  I'm a Christian atheist.  It's just some of his followers I can't stomach.

I forgot for a minute that I no longer live in Bakersfield and resorted to that "level"----

Did you read that. She just "dissed" bakers. Yes sandee all of those neo-cons are on a certain "level"

I will keep that opinion about Jesus to myself--I know what Jesus did in the "market place"

So, you have no opinion. Why are you here?

I will keep that opinion about Jesus to myself--I know what Jesus did in the "market place" --( re/ money changers )

He also said "vengence is mine"---as someone said eariler,  whatever happens here on earth, if this penality is carried out or not, Vincent ( along with ALL us humans on the earth ) have to answer to HIM ( GOD )

In response to anonymous 12:47 PM comment "And what was it that one of the jurors said...It was something that the prosecutor said that convinced her of his guilt.  I thought his guilt was to be determined by the evidence, not prosecutor's statements or arguments."

I think you need to read the comments by the juror again.

"Juror No. 407 said something the prosecutor said in her closing argument helped her reach a verdict on the death penalty."

She did not say it helped her reach a verdict of guilty. That verdict was reached before the comments from the prosecutor which the juror was referring to. There is nothing wrong or inappropriate with considering comments from the prosecutor or defense attorney in determing a sentence.

A jury decided Tuesday that Vincent Brothers should receive the death penalty for killing his three children, his wife and his mother in law.

AS Marv Alpert would say, Yes!  Now big decision for homie Vince: gas or the chems. Go for the pentathol sleepy time, Vince man.   

Lady Sandee didn't duck out--I don't argue with idiots who resort to name calling...

 We all have opinions about this case-- the BOTTOM line is--of those who KNOW the truth-5 are dead--so that leaves 2, Vincent Brothers and God Almighty.........I'll put Vincent in Gods hands.....

I guess the rule of not personally attacking each other has just flown right out the window in this forum.  Unfortunate too, these forums represent the community as a whole and to see the tempers and language above don't reveal us in the best light.

My thoughts are that even though he may live a long life behind bars, he still doesn't get the freedoms we take for granted.  He'll never sit in a Borders reading a magazine, have dinner and drinks with friends at Tahoe Joe's, play hookie from work to see a movie with his buddies... most importantly, be with a woman again (which is obviously a big deal for him seeing his torrid affairs).  So, while he will continue to live for what may be a long time... his only love will be from Tony the 300 lb guy in a dress and Sharpie marker mascara... and his only entertainment will be in from of a TV covered in Plexiglas.  The only good thing he has is knowing how he will probably die.

I don't know why anyone is surprised. After all the jury found him guilty of this horrendous crime. That being the case how could they not impose the death penalty.  It has nothing to do with black, white or Bakersfield justice as a few want to spout. A jury sat for a very long time and listened to all the evidence presented and they determined that he is guilty. The community should commend them for their service and for what I am certain was a very gut wrenching decision.

anony 12:12,

They weren't selling any bracelets but they were passing out pendants:

"The evidence was so circumstantial, I figured the jury might give him life in prison. But I was wrong"

Me too. Sorry to burst the bubbles of all the blood thirsty neo-cons on this blog, but this case will be overturned. At the very least the sentence will be commuted. Someone else already mentioned it but if Sons can get off Brothers will be out in no time at all.

Hmmmmmmmmm A rule here on posting comments is no personal attacks...maybe you best know someone before you name call eh??

 And as I said earlier--the focus IS on the topic-----

Ok...Death Penalty = WRONG

Enough said.

spam code: oheal

Alright kiddies,

Lets get off the name calling and focus on the death penalty that is the topic this part of the trial.

A FAVORITE COLOR--RED---

SIGNIFIES THE BLOOD JESUS SHED FOR ME...

 ARE THERE "RULES" ON WHAT COLORS AND FONTS WE USE HERE?  :-)
