"Arnold told a cellmate she put the baby in the microwave and turned it on because she was worried her boyfriend would leave her if he found out the
child wasn't his"
Hmmmm... to me that sounds like she knew EXACTLY what she was doing. That is what we call INTENT!
Thats the problem with killing it doesnt teach anything to anyone. It doesnt make the murderer feel sorry, it doesnt teach us that killing is wrong.
All that it does is add to our problems.
So sitting in a jail cell for the rest of her life teaches her something? Only thing it teaches her is that she had a damn good lawyer and she won.
It doesn't teach her responsibility for what she did. Giving her the death penalty teaches her and others like her that you take responsibilty for
your actions. Why should she be allowed to live? She intentionally killed a innocent child that had no way to defend itself!
As a society we want to morally correct we want to be moral outstanding people, yet the minute someone steps outside of the realm of accepted morals
people call for blood and become so enraged and blood thirsty its disgusting. None of you commited the murder but from your comments you are no better
than her.
As a society we are way to lenient towards murderers. I think we need harsher laws to teach people not to commit crimes, or they will be severly
punished.
It shouldnt be about getting vengence or teaching through blood. It should be about forgivness. If you can learn to forgive than you learn to heal all
wounds, vengence does not heal like forgivness.
Excuse me??? Forgivness? Or you serious? Its obvious you don't have any children of your own, otherwise you would feel differently about this
horrific story. All forgivness does is teach the person that they got away with what they did and they don't have to assume ANY responsibilty for
their crimes. Are you telling me that if you had a child and they intentionally, not accidently killed your child you would sit there and forgive
them?
I have a 2yr old son and I tell you as a father if someone killed my son, like a drunk driver, I would kill that person. Laws are too lenient these
days, its no wonder why society is the way it is today. Drunk driving is no excuse either, you choose to drink and then get behind a wheel knowing you
can very well kill someone.
WTF??? I don't give a *snip* WHY she did it. She doesn't even deserve to have us deliberating over why. Send her to god and let him deal w/ her sorry arse.
