Morva's punishment in jury's hands
Posted Mar13, 2008 at 12:34 PM
Jurors just heard closing statements in the case of William Morva and have gone to the jury room to deliberate.
Defense attorney Tony Anderson told jurors that life in prison would be the ultimate punishment for Morva, who by his actions has made it clear that he does not want to be locked up.
Prosecutor Brad Finch told them that Morva has shown his hatred for law enforcement officers and that if were locked up, prison guards would be in danger.
Jurors have only two options for punishment: life in prison or the dealth penalty. Their decision must be unanimous.

joanneI dont know why anyone would even offer someone who had committed such an awful crime a sentence of life in prison. We the taxpayers in this state should not be responsible for paying for him the rest of his miserable life.ex.. food, clothing and even his education behind bars. Anyone found guilty of such an awful crime should be given the death penalty (and not ten years from now, but NOW)

JI could not agree more, justice seems to take more of a back seat these days to the rights and welfare of the animals that commit these brutal and heinous crimes. This time they got it right.
