In reply to Jacob.

Yeah, petition to pardon the killers. That’s not going to fly.
To pardon them would be a statement to all people that it is permissible you can kill someone who committed a sex offense, and then it would be all out vigilantism across the US.
Serve your time in prison first and then get released for the public to legally kill you? That’s not going to happen.

In reply to Just Sayin. We all know how plea agreements work. We also all know that in cases where something was premeditated, prosecutors can deny offering pleas and take it to trial to get the higher sentence. So why did they bother offering a plea? Because the victim was a registered sex offender, that’s why.

If the petition goes through or the court departs from recommended sentence in any significant way, they would inadvertently be sanctioning any type of vigilantism, thus decriminalization of it.

In reply to Disgusted in Michigan. It was a plea deal, not a trial. In nearly all criminal cases, a plea deal will render a lessor punishment than whatever the max may be. So, they go rewarded for not fighting their cases. On the other hand, a defendant who exercises his/her constitutional rights to a jury trial and makes judges and prosecutors work will surely get a heavier sentence in nearly all cases.

You know you’re on the bottom of the social class system when people support your murderers and not you. If our justice system sanctions continued humiliation and oppression, and continues to turn a blind eye to extrajudicial torture and murder, a class war is sure to follow.

In reply to Jacob. Apparently you cannot comment unless you sign the petition.

How were they not charged with premeditated murder and given the death penalty? They clearly planned this murder. Unbelievable.

This is outrageous!
This was premeditated murder with elements of torture.
And they will be eligible for parole in 15 years????
Certainly, they should be facing lethal injection or life without parole.
This is outrageous!

This may not be a registry issue. Local police had already publicized what he’d been suspected of:
