NH set to study death penalty laws

Very nice story and well written. I lived in New Hampshire some time ago. Great state! Natural beauty everywhere, and almost unbelievably clean. I'm glad that they "don’t want to become like Texas." I hope they decide to emulate their neighboring states of Maine, Vermont and Massachusetts that don't have the D.P.

If an animal attacks a human, it is put to death without question. That is an animal that does not have the resoning ability of a human. As a father and a beliver in nonviolence, teaching my children to do the right thing means not to hit. In a perfect world that would be all we need, but what you elitist don't seem to realize is this aint a perfect world.
Nothing on this earth with change what happened and make that little girls pain go away, it will be with her for life. Anything less than death for those animals is a sick joke! I would not kill them in your name, I would do it in the name of the people of this land. That little girl should not have to pay one more thing for those animals. Not tax dollars, possible release, some tricky lawyer trying to get them off. I say take them to a swamp, chain them to a stump, and walk away. Thats me.
Just remember $100,000,000 or more for the trial, same for the endless appeals, plus $200,000 a year for prison (where we pay for cable, health, let them work out all day, get all the drugs they want, and all the other emenities), or a $1.45 for a bullet and $1200 for the cremation.

I'm with you Pete...I see criminals put behind bars only to be released at a later date meanwhile the victims are dead and never get released from that! Now in the case where one of the victims was left alive...she will have to fear their eventual release from prison. Somehow that just doesn't seem fair to go through the pain of losing a mother, the pain of almost being killed and always living in fear that these "animals" are out there.

These kids are animals in my opinion and deserve a death sentence after all didn't they determine that they would give a death sentence to whomever was at home?

I hope we never emulate our neighboring liberal states!

Kill these teens NOW, save us tax dollars. May God place them in HELL

The DP laws should be tougher. I think you should move to one of the neighboring states. Leave this state to continue to be one of the safest and best states in the country.

I so wished that Maine was like Texas because I believe in the DP. An eye for an eye! Stop using tax $'s to pay for SCUM!

You might be surprised as to the origin of the "eye for an eye" saying. It was originally intended to insure that the punishment was not excessive with relation to the original act. It was not for vengeance as it is used today. You have to use tax $ to pay for scum. Either a couple of million for a death trial and all the appeals, or $30,000 or so a year for LWOP. That's the way the system is set up. Sorry.

It is unfathomable for me to think that these pshycos deserve any kind of a trial - or any humanity for that matter - they should get the dp and asap

How much study does it take? When you have beyond reasonable doubt as it is with this case, as it was with Officer Riggs and several others. The crap we are forced to swallow and pay for is in itself unconstitutional. I live in NH and the property taxes are off the chart, few good paying jobs and alot of hard working families who have lost all. They do not deserve to have to pay for scum to get a bed and breakfast while the struggle to survive.
Some things should be a no brainer but we allow the Lawyers to dictate to us the obvious to us. We pay them top dollar to suck us dry while the scum of the Earth live warm and comfy with three squares a day and color,cable television. Not the America I grew up in.
