http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/BrothersTrial/15215 Kern County Superior Court Judge Michael Bush sentenced convicted murderer Vincent Brothers to death Thursday. Brothers has an automatic appeal under California law. Brothers, a former vice principal, was convicted May 15 after a three-month trial of killing his wife, Joanie Harper; their three children, Marques, Lyndsey and Marshall; and Joanie Harper&rsquo;s mother, Earnestine. The same jury voted May 29 that Brothers should be sentenced to death. Bush made an independent assessment of the case and decided Vincent Brothers deserved to die. The judge also denied a defense motion for a new trial. Bush ordered that Brothers be transferred to San Quentin State Prison within 10 days. &quot;You shall suffer the death penalty at San Quentin,&quot; Bush said, adding that the warden at the prison is to hold Brothers during the appeal process.

Now Mike Bush has something in common with Brothers; they both need God's forgiveness. I met Mike 21 years ago at an OLPH Parish Festival. He was apparently there for the food and not the Roman Catholic Canon Law. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/BrothersTrial/15215/#c_146158 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/BrothersTrial/15215/#c_146158 Now Mike Bush has something in common with Brothers; they both need God's forgiveness.

All you see is lying and cheating. YOu don't see the lying as part of a coverup, to establish a false alibi. You dismiss the witnesses who saw Brothers in Bakersifeld at the time of the murder, and you dismiss the fact that outside of those witnesses who saw him in Bakersfield, he had no one who corroberated his his whereabouts for three days, including his own brother Troy, whom Vincent said was with him.</p> <p>  If I ever committ a crime, Timec, I'd want you on my jury.</p> http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/BrothersTrial/15215/#c_146517 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/BrothersTrial/15215/#c_146517 <p>Timec,</p> <p>  YOu continue to amaze.
