This comment might seem silly, but it's really hard for me to imagine how people could be that evil. It was a random carjacking, right? So they had to be so consumed with evil and hatred that they were willing to go to this extreme to victimize people with whom they couldn't have every had a personal impassioned interaction with. (Not that that would explain it, but the absence of personal or historic connections makes this situation impossible for me to even categorize, much less understand.)
It also makes it hard to believe that any justice can be done.
I try to think that the death penalty is wrong, not because criminals don’t deserve it, but because it’s immoral and corrupting for the rest of us to kill them. But then, every once in a while, the behavior is so bad that I think the perpetrator should be put to sleep like the rabid animal he or she must really be. If the accused are guilty in this case, how could one ever believe they could be redeemed or rehabilitated? They seem fundamentally inhuman to me.
I don’t buy in to the whole media conspiracy about the race of the victim; it’s fundamentally flawed, if you ask me. Try to reconcile it with the coverage of Natalee Holloway, for example. It’s just crazy even to suggest it.
