Really?? How do you not see what is going on? The judge is inappropriately acting as a second prosecutor. Going out of his way to Intimidate the defense witness and scare him into backing out of testifying, so that the defense will not be able to use this helpful, exculpatory evidence. And trying to intimidate the defense attorneys from rightfully Conferring with their own witness, which they have every right to do.

The lady victim, the wife, had BARELY survived one attempt on her life when she was shot by her first husband , just to be killed by these aholes. The blood transfusion from ER after the shooting took place gave her hepatitis C which gave her cancer she was battling . The male victim was a severe diabetic and not so well himself. They were known to help anyone and everyone thus why they were fooled by these idiots when they said their car had broken down and they let them in to use the phone. The only solace to be found in this situation is knowing they died together, holding one another and are together now wherever that may be. Even if it's nowhere, they still went nowhere together.

@Da Prince Indeed, that would be horrible.. but at least it would be quick. Can you not imagine the slow agony of being buried alive? The pain of Carbon Monoxide poison slowly creeping into your blood stream until you die? The muscle cramps as they contract .. But theyy can't even move to alleviate the cramps, and the poison causes them to vomit..they can't move, their mouths were covered and would be choking on their vomit through their mouths and nose .. And the panic of knowing that there's no help coming - this is it - no one even knows where they are..that in itself is enough to cause a coronary infarction... It's an agonisingly slow and horrible way to die..I certainly wouldn't choose it over burning quickly, although burning to death would be my greatest fear - at least it was until I heard how this couple were murdered, as I think this would be far worse than anything, at least from the perspective of human suffering and the horror of knowing what is happening to you. The perpetrators of this horror were too cowardly to commit murder.. So they let TWO elderly folk truly suffer to death very, very slowly - for their money. I think there's only one penalty to be applied here.. I don't even hear any remorse - just the cold-blooded, matter-of-fact testimony of a coward who had total disregard for the lives of the people that he murdered for their money.. They each deserve as much mercy as they gave their victims.... But that's just my opinion.. I'm not a judge - thank God.

[@elizabethd8147]

I have a big problem with people using their struggles in life as a defense for bad behavior. When I was a child, my father was extremely abusive to both my mother and I for many years. Finally, when she filed for divorce, it was good to get away but it also brought a new set of problems. He stalked, harrased and threatened me. On a supervised visitation, he brought an article in the paper of a mother and children who were shot to death on the courthouse steps by their dad. My father laughed and said that will be me. The judge issued what is still the largest restraining order in our states history (1 full mile). Not that it stopped him, I'm just explaining how dangerous it was. During all this, my mother repeatedly told me she should have aborted me. After, she told me she should have let my father have me then I'd be dead and out of her way. That said, I've never done anything past normal mistake or used my problems as an excuse for bad behavior. When people use their history as an excuse, it absolutely infuriates me! If having problems in life justifies bad behavior now, I'd have every excuse in the world to do whatever I want but I don't and never will!

@lindaarrington9397 how sweet you are! I appreciate that a lot! I can't say it wasn't tough but I relied on God and made it through. I know that sounds cliche but He absolutely did save my life (more than once). Also, I definitely learned what not to be. I adopted my son when he was 2 and used my experiences to become a better mom and person. It's also made me tough and allowed me to avoid the mistakes a lot of women make. Sometimes I catch myself taking that to an extreme but I do think it's helped me and the people around me as a whole.

I had fell asleep and woke up listening to some of this testimony then read the comments. I can't listen to the rest of this after reading what happened to this couple. This is really tragic. I never could have imagined this evil. I hope I don't have nightmares about this. This couple was so vulnerable. I pray that nothing like this ever happens again. I wish I could undo this. I mourn with the victims family. The people who knew and loved this couple probably think about this everyday. I'm praying that God gives you all strength to deal with the trauma.

[@patriciaschmitt6448]

Yup, totally agree. Time and time again, the victims who are murdered stop having any rights because they are not here any longer. The delusional murderers get all the rights & entitlements in the world after they've committed heinous & montrous acts of evil. Anyone who thinks the death penalty is cruel & unusual punishment, is definitely not thinking of the victims & what they went through.

I strongly believe that anyone who murders should die the exact same way that they killed someone. If the victims were more than one then the murderer should be executed in the same manner as each of the victims were dealt with. In other words, (for example, if three people were killed, one by beheading, another by being shot, and the last by being beat to death. Then the convicted perpetrator must be beaten to death, then shot, then beheaded. In that order.
