New trial for Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom killers

[Shug]

I read where the state is considering giveing the lowlife's a new trial cause the judge was disbarred for buying durgs

It's definitely a possibility. Anytime a judge is considered compromised all of his rulings become scrutinized.

As someone who has experience with the trial system and convicted people filing for new trials. Don't take everything the newspaper prints as what GOING to happen as much as what COULD happen.

They were found guilty by a jury, the jury dished a dealth penalty against one felon.

the judge did not have much to do with that. I don't see a new trial happening.

Even if the Judge had not been compromised, there would have almost certainly been appeals. We were not about to end the end of them. There is no such thing as lock them up and throw away the key.

However if a trial is put up, then I think they should all face the death penalty during the retrial. You want a retrial, then the people want to be able to increase the charges as well. I always believe during a crime, one is as guilty as another. The guy driving the get away car is as guilty as the guy that robs the gas station. Equal time, equal charges. If one gets death penalty, they all should.

Hell, I would tie them to a chair in a lock room alone with Channon's father and let justice be served.

Even if they do I do not see the verdicts coming out differently. They will all be found guilty again. Hopefully though the sentences will be harsher. I generally feel that spending your life in prison is a more punishing sentence. Hopefully those who were given less than that would find themselves in prison for life. I know it costs more but it is also more punishing because they will be speding every day of their life wondering if this is the day a little jailhouse justice would be done.

Although life may seem easy for them in prison it is still harsh. Although they may be provided with most amenities they still have to contend with the jailhouse conflicts and the often brutal means in which arguments are settled. They will no longer be able to touch a women and in some cases live a life as someone's bitch. I can't imagine a more brutal punishment than being raped nearly every day of your life. But even knowing this I would go a lot farther to make the punishment even harsher.

First I would do like we did for inmates that throw their food. Blend all their food up in a blender, add flour and bake it into a large bisquit. When I say blend I mean their meats, veggies, fruits, desserts and drinks all together into a slush then add enough flour to bake it. We did this quite regularly and it did influence an inmates behavior when they got into the second or third week of eating tasteless bisquits. It also prevented officers from being coated with the inmates meal. It provides all the nutrition needed but still punishes them.

They should not be allowed any visits with anyone other than their attorneys. Most attorneys will not risk bringing in contraband like the family of the inmate will. No calls to anyone, ever. If they need to contact their attorney they can use the pad of paper, pencil and envelope we provide to contact them because there are no emergencies in a legal system that takes years to decide a case.

No television, no radios, no cigarettes, no commissary or anything else that provides them with some enjoyment. No outside recreation and any recreation is limited to a maximum of 1 hour outside the cell per day. During that time they also take their showers.

One more thing I would have like to see is anytime an inmate is being removed from their cell a hood or helmet that prevents them from seeing be placed over their head. This would eliminate a lot of injuries to officers because an inmate can't fight when he can't see. It would also prevent inmates from knowing the layout of the institution and forming an escape plan. It would also prevent jailhouse communications by both voice as well as written means. It would prevent the passing of contraband between inmates as well.

No more time off for good behavior just punish them harshly for bad behavior.

Criminals today know that their time in jail is going to be an easy road if, and that is a big if, that actually do any time. The criminals need to feel some discomfort or they will continue to break the law. I know these things would never happen but I can hope.
