, if a jury is deadlocked in federal sentencing trials or in most states with the death penalty, the defendant receives life in prison. But two states — Missouri and Indiana — allow a judge to impose a death sentence with a deadlocked jury.in 2016, successfully arguing that the judge overreached in superseding the deadlocked jury to issue a death sentence.
"A jury ... is the voice of the community in which the crime occurred — and that voice where Beverly Guenther was murdered said that the State did not sustain its burden to merit a death sentence," the retired judges wrote. McLaughlin"was sentenced to death via a flaw in Missouri’s capital sentencing scheme," they wrote, adding that the procedure"removes the life-or-death decision from the jury when the jury cannot vote unanimously for death, and places that awesome power in the hands of one individual."
thereidout FOR THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE..'HELL IS REAL'.! 'ALWAYS GIVE BENEFIT OF THE BOUBT'. NEVER RUSH...A LIFE IS THE MOST PRECIOUS THING WE HAVE ON EARTH..😔🙏
thereidout What was she convicted of? Did this individual claim innocence?
thereidout She looks like Lizzy Borden with long hair😳
thereidout About time somebody actually got 'punished'
thereidout LOL, He thought turning into a girl would get him off the hook. WRONG! Big money wasted.
thereidout If you can't do the crime, don't do the crime.
thereidout Put it down
thereidout RIH
thereidout Man who raped a 14yo girl the latter raped his ex girlfriend could not get clemency. I am crying… NOT
thereidout IT WAS A MASS MURDERER.........STFU!!
thereidout …
thereidout Its disturbing it wasnt done sooner
thereidout And rightfully so. He deserved it 100%
thereidout The only reason you give ten sh*ts about this murderer's execution is because HE was a 'stunning' and 'brave' transgender - whose whole defense was predicated on HIS mental illness, and who apparently had no interest in 'transitioning' until HE was on death row. Big deal.
thereidout Geezus
thereidout She's a dude who murdered his girlfriend. Not a woman.
thereidout
thereidout How about the disturbing circumstances of the crime she committed? They found her guilty and guilty in 1 out of the 4 aggravating circumstances. She got what she deserved. Moving on.
thereidout HE was executed anyway. I fixed it for you.
thereidout We need More Executions. Public Executions. Americans are Tired of Lawlessness and Criminals having free reign to terrorize us all. Hang 'em High publicexecutions justice Law Order
thereidout She? Nah
thereidout Finally, the news is actually correct. I guess they're tired of covering for old Biden and his administration.
thereidout Ohh there is an outcry now about injustice i guess when a white person gets executed unjustly its causes and uproar but if they are black and brown its just another day right!!!
thereidout You mean Missouri laws were followed? Oh the horror!!!
thereidout *he
thereidout Unfuckingbelievable. Makes me sick on my stomach. How can one person be allowed to decide life or death on behalf of the government in the USA in 2023.
thereidout The only thing 'disturbing' about this is the fact that a man can rape a murder someone, and then chop off his peepee and expect everyone to think its transphobic to execute him.
thereidout Joker had a baby 🤣
thereidout Didn't this individual commit a crime?
thereidout Hmmm punished for killing a Human, what is the world coming to?
thereidout
thereidout murderers (w/exception of true self defense, yes even car accidents that kill people due to negligence of driver), should be put to death☠️ ⚰️ americans should never pay taxes to allow these people to live in prison/jail there is a place in society for them, it’s called a ⚰️
thereidout Joe Biden's fentanyl deaths must be accounted for NOW. DNC used Sammy Cash. Treason and collusion in the DNC. Elpasso TX is all cleaned up for Joe's visit. LMAOROFKLAB
thereidout Good he was trash
thereidout the jury did reach an agreement they found Amber McLaughlin guilty and he was sentenced to be executed.
thereidout Another trans bites the dust! Another trans bites the dust! Hey yay aay aaaay aayy!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
thereidout I don't agree w/death penalty, but USA cannot continue to give leniency, in general, solely because someone is transgender--or because they had a 'bad childhood'. I keep seeing everyone say she shouldn't have even been sentenced BC she had a bad childhood. There are consequences.
thereidout He committed murder and rape. He became a pretend woman after incarceration.
thereidout So?
thereidout He
thereidout Saved the taxpayers money...'she' was the convicted criminal not a victim. The victim did not get a chance...
thereidout
thereidout FAKE NEWS MSNBC
thereidout He was a child rapist and a murderer. One less evil person in society is a good thing.
thereidout Americans open Pandora's box. You can't put the genie back into the bottle once you set him out and free.
thereidout Good riddance.
thereidout Lol bye bye bro
thereidout Rittenhouse murdered twice as many people she did.
thereidout Who on the MSNBC staff and Admin think that a human without a uterus is a woman? Instead of imposing woke shit, you need to have an in-service on Anatomy and Physiology. As a Journalistic entity you're in violation of your own code of ethics. We the People are 👁️watching🇺🇸
thereidout He raped and murdered a child and an adult female. 🤷♂️
thereidout Did you miss the rape charge?
thereidout He murder his girlfriend and then raped her deceased body. He deserves to fry.
thereidout This is criminal!
thereidout Probably all two-time rapists (there was a 14-year-old raped before), stalkers and murderers are mentally ill. Maybe we need a federal ban on the death penalty though. Texas kills them when they’re proven innocent.
thereidout Pretending to be a woman after murdering people as a man doesn't change a thing.
thereidout He was found guilty. She appealed. They were unsuccessful.
thereidout Well….a lot of good it did having the taxpayers fund that transition. It’s like painting your house so you can set it on fire.
thereidout
thereidout As long as the United States continues to execute it’s own citizens, we have no right to criticize other countries human rights policies
thereidout A male kills a female, rapes her afterwards and you are defending him? What your article calls a loophole in Missouri is actually a law. Last but not least, what your calling a her is actually a murdering he. joke junkmedia
thereidout You misspelled “he”
thereidout He, was a murderer.
thereidout He and he was guilty anyway
thereidout Welcome to Missouri
thereidout He
Trying to use mental illness as an excuse to murder, but now transitioned, everything is fine does not work. Sorry!
Murder begets justice. It should be as simple as that!
Since no one can read an article I would just like to point out that the issue here is that she wasn’t sentenced to death by a jury. A judge over rode the jury decision. This issue has nothing to do with her gender.
He's where he belongs
SeyedMohammadHoseini MohammadMehdiKarami were executed by the islamic republic. Every day we're dealing with these criminals who need no reason to kill us to shut our voice down... mahsaamini
You wouldn't care if it were a normal dude who was executed.
It’s not.
A dude who dressed like a chick killed someone and was killed by the state. That's all you need to say... Don't make it into anything bigger than it needs to be.
Why are leftists always such a strong supporters of degenerates
This is the leftists vision for the future of our young men.
Comitted a murder and got sentenced cosplaying doesn't change that.
Only disturbing thing is it was still breathing....
Pronouns: was/were
mazzettam2 Because it’s a fucking execution?
He mudered an ex Girlfriend then decided he would try out being a girl to avoid being executed. Nothing to see here
thereidout So we get thrown into a tolerance gulag if we don’t accept you’ve posthumously turned his murder victim who he then conducted necrophilia with, into a lesbian ?
thereidout
thereidout I’m sorry, but there are better people in the world to feel sorry for. I don’t support capital punishment. I think it’s a barbaric practice. Still, I don’t have lot of sympathy for her. I can only imagine the horror her victim felt as she stalked and murdered her.
thereidout Hey MSNBC! So This guy decided to transition AFTER the murder and sentencing?
thereidout MSNBC could care less about the murdered victim!
thereidout Imagine if msnbc applied the same critical theory to Jan 6 trespassing
thereidout McLaughlin drove to Guenther's place of work and ambushed her... McLaughlin forced Guenther to the ground, raped her, and then stabbed her multiple times before dragging the body to McLaughlin's vehicle and dumping it
thereidout She was executed as a he,it seems.
thereidout It's disturbing that it takes almost 20 years. More states need this judge clause.
thereidout He raped and murdered an innocent (actual) woman
thereidout He didn't deserve to live after what he did.
thereidout You are right Congressman Gaetz: Kevin McCarthy never had the votes, and will never have the votes to be elected as U.S Speaker! All Ordinary Americans know that McCarthy is R/laws/Constitution/&D country's terrorist b/c he's involved in D Jan.6th terrorist attempt against D U.S!
thereidout Let’s see. One person killed another person deliberately. Unless your defending yourself, others (proven justified), or for our country. It’s called murder. Therefore. This person deserved the death penalty.
