This isn't a car theft. This isn't bank robbery. This is premeditated murder that involved about a quarter of a family, and a five year old boy.

I appreciate your stoic replies, and your deeply informative responses, but this is not a drug deal gone wrong, this is a 5 year old boy getting tortured and murdered by a psycho bastard that hated his grandpa.

As badly as I need to take my emotion out of it, I think you need to put your emotion into it to understand why these lawyers lost all my respect by dragging this out even longer with the impact statement objections.
Sigh...

You are more than entitled to your view. I suspect the lawyers will place more weight on the view of the trial judge who they did all of their work in front of for the last 5 weeks, including the application to edit the victim impact statements.

The judge, who of course used to be a lawyer, gained respect for them such that he classes them in the group of the best that the profession can aspire to be.

You have lost all respect for them.

I side with the judge on this one.

Will it help me if I type it with more passion?
