Brian Nichols: Life without Parole or DEATH by LETHAL INJECTION?

Brian Nichols for those that don't know, killed a judge and courtroom reporter in an Atlanta courtroom a few years back and later killed a police officer and later still a DEA agent.

Four people, who never again got to share Christmas with their family.

He also left another police officer with brain damage after striking her repeatedly when he began his courtroom assault.

This leads to the question should he die for his crimes. Currently the jury is 9-3, I believe in favor of the death penalty. It will take all 12 for death. The jury came back about 6 pm tonight and said they were deadlocked and the foreman did not believe anyone would change their mind. The judge asked them to debate for two more hours. I don't believe anyone will change their mind in the final two hours which will likely mean Brian Nichols will get life without parole.

It seems a shame to me that we are giving this man life when he so calously took four lives and ruined and changed many families forever.

The death penalty is very complex made more so by the Holidays and the coming birth of Jesus. I believe though if I sat on that jury anad based on the crime taking place in a courthouse and the lack of remorse Brian Nichols has shown that I would have to say death.
Certainly comment if you have an opinion or are familiar with the case.
