Is Life in Prison Worse Than the Death Penalty? The team at Police Off the Cuff are back to discuss the controversial topic of the death sentence.

What began as a typical game day celebration for University of Idaho students would end in unimaginable horror on Saturday, November 12, 2022. Xana Kernodle, a marketing junior, spent the day with friends, including her boyfriend Ethan Chapin and housemates Dylan, Bethany, Kaylee and Maddie at their shared home on 1122 King Road. After parties and celebrations, the group returned home in the early hours of Sunday morning. At around 4am, Dylan heard disturbing sounds. When she cracked her door open, Dylan saw a masked man with bushy eyebrows holding what looked like a vacuum cleaner. The next day, when upstairs roommates wouldn't answer their phones, friends discovered the bodies of Xana, Ethan, Kaylee and Maddie - all brutally stabbed to death. Vicky Ward, co-author of The Idaho Four: An American Tragedy, joins Claire to explore this devastating case. You can find her book here.

Pinal county attorney seeks death penalty in killing of Officer Facio.

There is something that is puzzling me about our society. Maybe you have the answer. When the time comes to execute a murderer, and all the television crews are out filming the demonstrators, interviewing talking heads for and against the death penalty, why is it that they hardly ever tell us in any detail what the murderer did? And, during election years, why is the execution of a criminal so much more important in a state where the governor is running for president? Why is the governor of a state more important than the victims of the criminal rampage. It is incredible to me how some people can muster so much sympathy for the murderer and forget altogether the victim and his family.Don’t get me wrong. It is a terrible thing to take anyone’s life. I cannot conceive of anyone taking pleasure in the execution of a killer. God certainly doesn’t. He spoke to Ezekiel:Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?Ezekiel 33:10–11I suppose it is a measure of our society that we might ask, Well, if there is no pleasure in the death of the wicked, why kill him? It is a fatuous argument against the death penalty, but the question still remains. Why kill him? Isn’t human life sacred? Isn’t it just as wrong to execute a murderer as it was for the murderer to kill?

​In the case identified as Case Number CR01-24-31665, defendant Bryan C. Kohberger's legal team has filed a motion titled "Motion to Strike Death Penalty RE: Autism Spectrum Disorder." This motion asserts that Kohberger's diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diminishes his culpability, undermines the retributive and deterrent objectives of capital punishment, and increases the risk of wrongful conviction and sentencing. The defense emphasizes that ASD impairs communication, reasoning, social skills, and impulse control, factors that should be considered when determining appropriate sentencing.The motion further argues that executing individuals with ASD contradicts evolving standards of decency and that such defendants may struggle to effectively assist in their defense or convey remorse, potentially leading to unfair sentencing. The defense highlights the heightened need for reliability in capital cases and contends that ASD-related impairments could result in misinterpretations by jurors, thereby increasing the likelihood of an erroneous death sentence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:022425-Motion-Strike-Death-Penalty-RE-Autism-Spectrum-Disorder.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Public support for the death penalty has been slowly declining in America. But under President Trump, executions have spiked. In her recent piece, “Inside America’s Death Chambers,” Atlantic staff writer Elizabeth Bruenig describes witnessing five executions — including two failed attempts — and what those experiences taught her about justice, mercy, and redemption. Bruenig spoke with Apple News In Conversation host Shumita Basu about her reporting and her own experience as the relative of a murder victim.

Father Mitch Pacwa talks the death penalty from a Catholic perspective in the light of the Kohberger trial in Idaho. Father Tad Pacholczyk joins to discuss the increased leniency towards euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada. Plus, Tim Graham of Newsbusters visits to talk about the cutbacks to NPR and PBS, and T's Two Sense looks at a poll of morally acceptable practices.

We're looking at the Bryan Kohberger sentencing this morning and we also wanted to update you on some of the death penalty cases here in Utah. Greg and Holly break down some of the updates on the Ralph Menzies and Douglas Carter cases. 

On a day that starts with the Idaho murder sentencing and ends with the possibility of treason by our highest government officials, this is the question we're asking you.

Federal prosecutors say it's possible they will seek the death penalty in the case of Vance Boelter, the man charged with killing Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and wounding Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. It's been more than 100 years since Minnesota's last state execution. The state abolished capital punishment in 1911. Federal prosecutors have not sought the death penalty in a Minnesota-based case since the Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment in 1976. Robin Maher joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about the possibility that Boelter will face the death penalty. Maher is the Executive Director of the Death Penalty Information Center.

Plea Deal Shock: Stephan Sterns to Admit Guilt, Avoid Execution #Stephan Sterns #Madeline Soto #Death Penalty Stephan Sterns is expected to request to plead guilty in the two cases he is being charged in. The first case is a SA case, and the 2nd case is a capital murder case of Madeline Soto. This plea would be for life in prison without parole, specifically to avoid the death penalty.

Stephan Sterns, the man charged with the sexual assault and murder of 13-year-old Madeline Soto has entered a guilty plea.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chad opens the show speaking about the possibility of the government pursing the death penalty in their prosecution of Vance Boelter. Plus, we have some fun during our regular Wednesday visit with Rena Sarigianopoulos of KARE-11.

Should the government push for the death penalty for Vance Boelter? Chad wrestles with it but believes it should apply in this case.

This week, in Lancaster, Texas, a brutal triple murder leaves detectives scrambling, but they don't know that the murderer, a dangerous man with a background of violence, had already been caught... and let go. When he is finally recaptured, he decides to confess, calling himself a "monster", but also decides to confess to many more murders, one of which ends up getting an wrongly convicted man off of death row!!   Along the way, we find out that drunks are driving all over town, even at noon, that getting overcharged for a tire repair is not a reason for horrible murder, and that it seems odd to pull a man out of intensive care, so you can execute him!!   New episodes, every Wednesday & Friday nights!!   Donate at patreon.com/crimeinsports or at paypal.com and use our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com   Follow us on... instagram.com/smalltownmurder facebook.com/smalltownpod   Also, check out James & Jimmie's other shows, Crime In Sports & Your Stupid Opinions!!
