Shawna Forde Sentenced To Die!

[Ayatollahgondola]

I cannot believe the defense counsel used that cry-baby tactic of "her abused past". I think the public is fed up with that, true or no, and Arizona seems to be fed up with criminals of any sort. Let's face one thing; there was a jury, and the defense had a hand in picking it, so this trial was at least as legit as they come these days.

I agree that it was a desperate attempt to spare her life. That at least gives me a clue that her lawyer tried his best. It was indeed a ridiculous and unacceptable defense, "abused past".
