There had to be a juror or jurors who were against the death penalty & lied about it.

Sickening. Should have gotten the DP - tomorrow. Thanks to one female juror. Keep females off of DP cases.... Hope he gets justice in prison, but someone will take him as their wife and protect him. I can hope that he gets KARMA.... 😡😡😡😡

[GodBlessedAmerica]

Firing squad. Set some examples or it’ll keep happening.

goes to show you the law is not on your side

[LindaG]

And now taxpayers get to feed, clothe & shelter him for years to come.

It's horrific all the way around. This SOB will never get out of prison and I hope that most families will be okay with this. I can't even begin to feel like pain you are feeling. Sending love to all of you ❤️

[dsalvatore]

I pray he goes to general population and is not protected in prison.

[LindaG]

Woe to the juror who voted against the death penalty.

[janblackman]

Don’t worry he won’t last long in prison

[naomisims]

Has any school shooter received the death penalty?

[Guys-Mom]

No one will ever hear from this monster ever again! Locked up locked away forever

[zorallapena]

He is even wearing cereal killer glasses 😒

[robertkroberjr.]

Hopefully the Epstein process will work. 🙃💀

[lynnobrien]

Oue justice system just Failed every Child in schools!

[okdk]

Life in Prison without Parole.... No painful parole hearings EVER... NO years and perhaps decades of appeals... If they did give him the death penalty there would be two anniversaries one the death of their child and two the anniversary of the death of their killer... idk... I don't see him lasting long in prison. Prayers for all of the families...

This is what happens when the infection of liberalism in our society….. WCIS? ….. South Florida

[joycemclean]

That gives power to crazy people to kill again I would be upset to. Life in prison is a break for murders! Three meals a day, medical expenses payed, tv, place to exercise wow prisoner’s got it made! Even able to use computers and phones!!!

[trudykowalski]

The person that got threatened they should talk to him and ask him why they threatened them find out the reason

[Lmlm]

I know they’re upset 😢 the death sentence requires so many appeals & it’s an exhaustive process . This closes the door . It would have been a decade if not longer before he even got a needle anyways . I feel so awful for these people all around 🥺

[bearmerica]

Will the inmates get him for killing kids?
