- Good verdict. Society needs to eliminate murdering misfits like this guy and his buddy. We don't need to be paying good money to keep them in jail the rest of their lives. Get rid of them.

Executions should be public, and televised, with all inmates, first offenders, and youth "boot camp" attendees (especially the latter 2) forced to watch.
The methods used should be:
1. Hanging
2. Close range shot to the back of the head
3. Pushed off One Shell Square, with first offenders required to do the cleanup
Implement this, and watch the crime rate plummet.

Hoo-ahh!
I admit all those methods are more politically correct now than dragging behind an automobile. But lemme tell ya, back in the day...

I am SO sorry! My suggestions were in no way meant to downplay or be more PC than your most excellent proposal of dragging behind a car. I simply forgot to acknowledge your post in my own. Dragging should indeed be among the acceptable methods, coupled, of course, with live TV coverage and cleanup by wannabe criminals.
In fact, dragging would add all sorts of possibilities - the TV coverage could have interesting side stories about the locations through which the perp is dragged, communities could bid on getting draggings, for exposure, TV rights, and possible tickets, etc. There could be bets wagered on the mileage dragged at which the perp's foul life would expire, a bumper-mounted "Cheese-Grater Cam" showing the process in vivid detail...
The possibilities are endless, and I salute you!
Though emotionally that seems right, it's not very rational. Our judicial system is structured to punish criminals, not to ease the suffering of family members or to give them an opportunity for revenge. Not to mention the implications of 8th Amendment rights infringement that would occur.
I believe the punishment should fit the crime. As quick as people are to advocate the death penalty, I think it requires more review than that. If anyone here remembers, right before we got the Heller decision, the Supreme Court had just ruled that the death penalty was considered cruel and unusual punishment in cases of rape, molestation, etc. The stated that the death penalty should only be used in cases of murder.
So is this guy a murderer or an accessory to murder? He didn't pull the trigger did he? I don't know the details of the crime, but the article says that he instigated the shooting. Because of this, I really don't agree with the punishment. Yes, it was a horrible thing, and the guy is probably scum. But he didn't kill the guy.

Of course you are right. But shot to death behind the Olive Garden on Siegen Lane??? Shot to death inside LSU campus housing??? Shot at River Center??? Shot at the Ride Aid on Plank Avenue??? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

That's debatable these days
It SHOULD do both though!
That's the problem with this country - too concerned about the "rights" of convicted murderers, terrorists, etc. IMO, when one commits and is convicted of a capital crime, they forfeit their rights.
Non-citizen terrorists have no rights to begin with. F*ck Gitmo - they should've all been killed on the battlefield, with any prisoners tortured for information then killed quickly and cheaply.
And SCOTUS screwed the pooch when they found death for child rapists to be "cruel and unusual." Child rapists should be tortured by the victim's family first, then killed by a method chosen (and carried out) also by the victim's family.
In my warm and fuzzy opinion, of course.
It's thinking like this that made the 8th amendment necessary. Kind of a shoot now, think later mentality. Because no one has ever been convicted of a crime they didn't commit. That's my problem with Guantanamo Bay. We think you did something, no trial, no jury, you are getting the shaft. People are so willing to punish/discourage terrorists that they don't seem to care if innocent people get hurt in the process.

I think he should be shot in the chest and left to bleed out. An eye for and eye as they say. Aaron was a good kind hearted christian he didnt deserve that ****.
You are kidding, right??? Do you have a heart / feelings / a sense of familial pride. If that was your wife or mother that was shot and left for dead, I have to HOPE that you would feel differently. I don't care if he actually was or was not the one to pull the trigger, his actions had a direct affect on the outcome. He is just as guilty IMO because not only did he not attempt to stop the situation, he "egged" it on. He along with many other convicts are the slime of the earth. Why waste more taxpayer funds. Give him his leathal dose of potassium or whatever they give in louisiana and be done with it. The victim didn't get to procrastinate his death, why should the criminal?
