as disturbing as the case itself is, the part that made me sick to my stomach was that when the judge read the verdict, he told the boy that "when judgement day comes, he would be given a much harsher sentence than the state of florida could ever impose, but untill that time his sentence would be life in prison."
What about the cases that never even go to court, like when a politician sends thousands to their death with a stroke of the pen?

Hey if Bush can come out and say that God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, then why can't a judge mention such a thing to a boy about to be put away for life? IMO, any remaining separation of church and state there was ended the moment Bush said that. A dangerous precedent, indeed.

the judge (judges in general) should be neutral and the jury decides the final say right???

it makes me sick to my stomach that a judge would actually pass the judgement of god onto someone else. its his job to judge the law. its not his job to play god...
