A murder is a murder and the looks of the victim should not have anything to do with the outcome of the trial but Lauren Burk just looks like that "Girl Next Door" that everyone would love.

If Courtney Lockhart actually committed this crime, I hope he pays a very high price for what he has done.

This is a good idea so that if the man is found guilty, there will be one less avenue of appeal should the death penalty be imposed.

Sharpton is busy hurling threats and promoting anarchy in New York. It seems that, in Sharpton's world, everything white people do is racist.

As a former Auburn resident and active citizen this whole case was strange from day one. Now the murderer gets 50 years - a gag order - and the family has a loss that they will never get over. Is being black and a veteran in AL a plus or not.

Sahrpton is busy "shutting down" NYC and another whitr girl is in her grave at the hands of a thug. It's early yet Jesse and Al can still make the show, there is air time to be had and headlines to grab. The gag order may keep them away.

If that were to happen to him, I hope they hang a picture of Lauren Burk in front of him so that every time he opens his eyes, he sees her looking at him.
