[@Steiner_Student]

A sociopath. That’s exactly who. And an entitled sociopath. He doesn’t think or feel like you and I. Which is why he tried to bribe Paul’s friends to say they were driving the boat. And why he lied before the cellphone video showed he was. Someone who has never faced consequences for their actions will do things you and I could never even fathom. This type of disgusting animal will also not show emotion because he has not and likely will never fully comprehend that this is a LIFE SENTENCE. He’ll likely hold the delusion that he will see the light of day again until the day he dies.

[@SavedByJesusHeimatLiebe]

off topic but important: Jesus loves you, believe in Him and His finished Work of unddeserved Mercy and be saved and allive and free forever. Free from sin, but also free from curse of law. Become Children of The One and Only Living and Allmighty God Maker of Life, our Heavenly Justice, Truth and Love- Abba. Never let anyone scare you about God. And Yes it is this simple, we must do nothing or can add nothing to His Mercy, just believe. For just as a Father here on Earth who is trully loving and good would save his Child or Children from Drowning risk or give his own Life for them, the Kids must do nothing except stay in His Arms and believe him, and not struggle. Yes and how much more do you think and feel Truth oft The Maker of ALL Life, our Heavenly "ABBA" loves us and does not want us to Perish, This is why Jesus came, not to make some new religion or to judge the world, but as it is writen To SAVE WHAT WAS LOST; TO SAVE THE WORLD- ALL HUMANS IN IT, who believe in Him and What HE DID; so we can be reconciled with HIM The Maker of all Life, and be forgiven our sins, bc HE paid with His sinless Life. And He fullfilled The Law for us, bc noone no sinfull human, and this is ALL except Jesus who did not sin at all, could fullfill the Law of God. So this is His Mercy for us. Again trust Him by believing this His Finished Work of unddeserved Mercy and in Him and you are forever saved, have eternal Life in Peace, Freedom and Joy with Him as ABBA.

I don't like judge Newman, he was too personal in his opinions about Alex and his family,a judge needs to be cool and neutral, he is not psychologist to determine if the accused has a monster inside or not. Prosecutors were judging him for his economic or white collar accusations,but this was a trial about murders,they shouldn't be mixed togethers, but Mr Waters was creating a web based on other issues to manipulate the jury. The defense lawyers weren't passionate enough about their client defense. Alex can be a thief, a liar, a drug addict, but not necessarily have to be a killer. I don't know if he is innocent or guilty. All I now is this trial wasn't fair and should be declared a mistrial. Plus the jury didn't have time enough to deeply deliberate in such a complex case in 45 minutes. So a new trial should quickly be organize in a better manner.

[@suzymoroka297]

So now you’re a defence lawyer? Otherwise how would you know that they didn’t do a good job. Judge Newman was measured in the way he addressed the double murderer.
