Why was the death penalty not invoked? If you tie four people up and then shoot them in the head...... Do you not think that they should deserve
to deserve to die the same way? Sadly, I'm sure there are bleeding hearts that will disagree.

I am glad justice has been done. One of the victims was the mother of a former student of mine. It was heartbreaking watching the family go through this tragedy; particularly when children are affected. The victims may have not been perfect people, but they did not deserve this. I too do not understand why a quadruple homicide of this nature should not merit out the death penalty.

Yes, people who commit a crime as such should receive a death sentence, and one that comes quicker than the norm. Less appeals, less time in prison, less tax dollars used. One reason why are laws must be modified to save us from paying so much into the criminal system. I mean really, you bind 4 people and shoot them in the back of the head, who deserves to live after doing that.

While I'm glad this coward will never see the outside of a jail cell again I wonder why he didn't get the death penalty??? These cowards MURDERED 4 innocent people. So what if two of girls smoked pot that doesn't mean they deserved to be tied up and executed. You kill 4 people and you don't get the death penalty??? This is some of the "change" our President was talking about.

They didn't go for death Rocky because the girls were poor druggies that lived in subsidized housing.

Big deal, the liberal courts will give hime 9 do overs, just like they did those scumbags 30 yrs ago that burned up that couple in the trunk of their car. Next we will hear about being brought up in the ghetto and maybe even him and his bro are retarded [thumbdown]

Wow... you mean white lives matter?

He admitted guilt yet he maintains his innocence? So sad in that he has already protested his lawyer is not defending his rights adequetly. I still do not understand why he and his brother are not subject to death penalty? How do you tie people up and then shoot them in the head and then ask for leanancy?
