itsjustme; How right you are. I'm sitting here wondering how they are going to give him the death penalty, if convicted, when we don't have one in AR at the present time. Let's get with it State Legislature!

Seeking the death penalty is only a small step. If this state would actually carry it out, things would be better.

No special prosecutor in this case. What's up with that. This should be classed in that range too.

Seeking the death penalty.... Thats a step in the wright direction. I hope every one that is selected for the jury is also following this story. That little bstrd needs to be extracted from the gene pool. Oh!!! By the way.... Benton County Prosecutor V.S. Good plan and good luck on getting it done. It's good to hear some one with a little clout wanting to exterminate this cockroach.
