And that's what happens.because according to you and your link, trying to end your life in prison early is a sign of psychological issues that the 8th amendment must protect the inmate from. By that logic, choosing not to appeal is a sign of psychological issues as they are not trying to stay alive. Therefore, the 8th amendment must protect them from that and the only way would be to automatically appeal every death sentence case.1. Why, if it were the case (which it is), would all death penalty cases have to be appealed to the Supreme Court? The Death Penalty has been held to be Constitutional, while permitted suicide has not and is in fact criminalize in many jurisdictions.If that were the case, all cases that result in the death penalty would automatically get appealed all the way to the Supreme Court. How is it different for a person to choose to end their time in jail early by committing suicide than choosing to end their time in jail early by forgoing the lengthy appeals process?Well, the law and the 8th amendment disagree with you.The case you linked earlier seems to address those that have psychological issues. I, for one, do not believe that a person doomed to die in prison who chooses to commit suicide has psychological issues. Just the opposite. I see that as probably the sanest thing they could do. Why put up with 20 years of misery only to die? Any sane person would rather just go directly to death, do not pass the shower rape line, do not collect STDs.Yet that very system says reasonable steps should be taken to prevent her suicide.Makes sense to me. The justice system has taken that freedom from her.Godsbrother said:I'll never understand why a convicted murderer, especially one that is given the death sentence, is put on suicide watch in prison.
2. It's not terribly difficult. Which is why all death penalty cases are automatically appealed. Obviously the concern here is to prevent those not thinking clearly from hurting themselves.
Of course not. It means binding legal authority created through application by people much smarter than me or you to be applied to future cases of similar issues.Does case law = constitutional amendment?:sigh:So you agree that it's case law that requires we prevent suicides in prison not the 8th amendment. Glad we got that worked out.That someone being binding legal authority. I'm not referencing my own interpretation here. I'm referencing caselaw - which is what would be applied in the situation and backs my initial "yes" answer.The 8th amendment doesn't disagree. Someone's interpretation of the 8th amendment disagrees.Well, the law and the 8th amendment disagree with you.The case you linked earlier seems to address those that have psychological issues.

No, I don't agree. Do you agree that you lack a fundamental understanding of what "caselaw" means?
So every case does get appealed all the way up to the supreme court?And that's what happens.because according to you and your link, trying to end your life in prison early is a sign of psychological issues that the 8th amendment must protect the inmate from.

No, they are automatically appealed to appellate courts where these case is examined for factual, procedural, and constitutional errors.So every case does get appealed all the way up to the supreme court?And that's what happens.because according to you and your link, trying to end your life in prison early is a sign of psychological issues that the 8th amendment must protect the inmate from.

I think this observes an obligatory Christo:Sounds like we are on the same page now. Anything else I can educate you on?![]()
Ok, but if the person chooses to forgo additional appeals because they'd rather have the execution carried out than to remain in jail for decades, why is that not covered under the 8th amendment like suicides?No, they are automatically appealed to appellate courts where these case is examined for factual, procedural, and constitutional errors.

Because they've already been afforded the chance of an effective review by a court of higher authority to ensure that their conviction and sentence was not unconstitutional. Accordingly, the 8th Amendment has then been, for lack of a better word, satisfied. A person doesn't have the absolute right to an automatic/lawyer assisted second appeal anyway, regardless of whether he wanted to commit suicide.Ok, but if the person chooses to forgo additional appeals because they'd rather have the execution carried out than to remain in jail for decades, why is that not covered under the 8th amendment like suicides?No, they are automatically appealed to appellate courts where these case is examined for factual, procedural, and constitutional errors.

How is that different than someone committing suicide to avoid a life in prison? In both cases, the person is choosing to end their life. It is inconsistent to have the 8th amendment apply to the latter but not the former.McVeigh, 33, a decorated Gulf War Army veteran, admitted in a recently published biography that he was responsible for the bombing. He earlier waived his appeals, telling his attorneys he would rather be put to death than spend his life in prison.

Name of facilty?So the facility she is now in the psych ward has more relaxed security. She has a tv in her room, is able to have visitors come and go, gets out more for exercise... much nicer than where she was. Apparently last year an inmate from that psych ward escaped through the roof and was spotted in downtown Phoenix. Wonder if she knows that. Her meltdown seems to be serving her better now.![]()
If you can't see the distinguishing facts at this point, I can't help you.Good lord dude, how many times do we have to go over this. According to your link, a person who wishes to die and takes action to do so has psychological issues and must be protected per the 8th amendment. In the case of McVeigh, he wished to die, took action to do so. Ergo should've been deemed to have psychological issues and be protected via the 8th amendment. That did not happen.Note the italics. That should answer your question. And even if correct, it's not inconsistent if the defendant knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived his appeal rights (and found by the court or through attorney avowal). With suicide, you don't have a right to suicide initially, so such a waiver would still be illegal.>McVeigh, 33, a decorated Gulf War Army veteran, admitted in a recently published biography that he was responsible for the bombing.

Hey guy, being convicted of M1 does, in point of fact, change that.You don't even need to get to the comments for that... (the bold/caps is from the website, but the red is mine for emphasis)I just went on the JodiIsInnocent website to see the comments. Those people need help...
>
At the end of all that – and taking all the various countless factors into account… and maybe some we’ve not even thought of yet… we WILL (once again) be victorious in our combined quest for JUSTICE FOR JODI. Yep… you heard it here first.
So peeps… leave your comments below on today’s verdict, while we prepare to battle on!
Thanks again for all your support over the past 4+ months. Let’s keep it going.
The pedo-hugging #######’ joy will be short lived.
WE ARE TEAM JODI – AND WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS!
Today doesn’t changes that.
I’ll see you tomorrow @ 1.00 pm or thereabouts.

And the nutjobs have money. Wow, do these cases ever bring out the crazies in society.She can't profit from anything related to the case like books and interviews but she can from her artwork. There's enough nutjobs out there who will support her so this is to prevent her from getting the money. They said there was 1 guy who just atm'd her $800.I thought so too. I dont know, maybe there are loopholes for these criminals to get around that.I thought that was prohibited anyway? I've seen many times after a guilty verdict, the judge will decree that the defendant is not allowed to accept payment for books, interviews, etc.They are doing that so Jodi wont be able to profit from the case.I don't understand the victim's family saying they are filing a wrongful death suit. Arias has money?![]()
Seems like an expensive proposition with very little chance of payoff.![]()
I see it as a suicide vs. suicide by cop situation. Either way, the person has some issues and wants to die. There are tons of procedures in place to prevent suicide by cop. But none for suicide by execution. By not forcing people like McVeigh, who want to die rather than spend their life in prison, to exhaust their appeals, the gov't is acknowledging that wanting to die and trying to speed up death is not necessarily an indication of psychological illness.If you can't see the distinguishing facts at this point, I can't help you.Good lord dude, how many times do we have to go over this.

It was cancelled due to a bomb threat.Court cancelled today. Aggravation phase is now for next Wed. Think it's cuz she did the interview so quick saying I want to die, so they may be evaluating her competency.
I think you're likely spot on.They showed the interrogation today with the ninja story. Interestingly enough, she said travis was on all 4s and was 'screaming'. Then something about him not moving much. At this point she is trying a new story and using what she saw. I say she got him to sit down in the shower and shot him while he was in that position. She pulls out the gun, he turns as he sees it and that's why it enters the side of his head and goes down towards the cheek. If I am not mistaken, the last pic shows him sitting in the shower, facing right. The bullet enters the right side. She shot him first and was trying to make the ninja story fit the order of the crime. She asked for pictures but the detective said no. She wanted to make up some other #### to fit the pictures. I also say the gun jammed. Thus the knife. The plan was unload on him and keep him in the shower, then wash off the evidence.
gun shot wound occurred after his heart had stopped pumping, it was last. there is a photo of the crazy ##### dragging his incredibly bloody body down the hall after she slit his throat. she probably put him in the shower in an attempt to clean up.I think you're likely spot on.They showed the interrogation today with the ninja story.

I don't see it that way. Small caliber weapon, no exit wound. There would be little bleeding out of the head. Remember that the whole thing was over within like 2 minutes. Once she slit his throat, that's when the blood really comes out.DA RAIDERS said:gun shot wound occurred after his heart had stopped pumping, it was last. there is a photo of the crazy ##### dragging his incredibly bloody body down the hall after she slit his throat. she probably put him in the shower in an attempt to clean up.N Zone said:I think you're likely spot on.lod01 said:They showed the interrogation today with the ninja story.

The justice system has taken that freedom from her.I'll never understand why a convicted murderer, especially one that is given the death sentence, is put on suicide watch in prison.
No, I don't agree. Do you agree that you lack a fundamental understanding of what "caselaw" means?
If you are sentenced to death and you request immediate execution of sentence, are you taking your own life? I say no. I have more respect for the person who says lets get it over with than the one that continually files appeals trying to stay alive and is obviously guilty.We have an UNALIENABLE right to life. Therefore, we don't have the right to take a life, even our own.
Okay, so she was still in the jail itself - just in the psych area of the Lower Buckeye Jail. That still operates the same as a regular jail. And, assuming she was previously in Estrella jail, LBJ actually has higher security than her previous facility and is not nearly as "nice" as Estrella.Lower Buckeye JailName of facilty?So the facility she is now in the psych ward has more relaxed security. She has a tv in her room, is able to have visitors come and go, gets out more for exercise... much nicer than where she was. Apparently last year an inmate from that psych ward escaped through the roof and was spotted in downtown Phoenix. Wonder if she knows that. Her meltdown seems to be serving her better now.![]()
And if you or your friends were a Supreme Court justice your opinion may matter.If you are sentenced to death and you request immediate execution of sentence, are you taking your own life? I say no. I have more respect for the person who says lets get it over with than the one that continually files appeals trying to stay alive and is obviously guilty.We have an UNALIENABLE right to life. Therefore, we don't have the right to take a life, even our own.
Who is more mental? The one rotting away in prison with no chance of getting out while fighting to stay alive or the one that checks out knowing the alternative is the worst possible existence?
Everyone I have polled would rather carry out the execution on themselves than sit on death row. From that I come to the conclusion that those on death row all have brains that are malfunctioning....which obviously isn't hard to figure out.
Can Jodi do what OJ is doing and have a trial to see if she can have a new trial?
You mean appeal and have a hearing on that appeal? Sure, if the court find she has made an offer of proof on an issue for which relief may be granted.Can Jodi do what OJ is doing and have a trial to see if she can have a new trial?
Is there not a point in time when you have exhasuted all your appeals? I'm no lawyer so i don't know but thought I had read that. If true, what about then? Why stick around then? Hope for a large asteroid to hit nearby, crack the walls of the prison while knocking all the guards out and you can escape? Is it that level of hope?And if you or your friends were a Supreme Court justice your opinion may matter.If you are sentenced to death and you request immediate execution of sentence, are you taking your own life? I say no. I have more respect for the person who says lets get it over with than the one that continually files appeals trying to stay alive and is obviously guilty.We have an UNALIENABLE right to life. Therefore, we don't have the right to take a life, even our own.
Who is more mental? The one rotting away in prison with no chance of getting out while fighting to stay alive or the one that checks out knowing the alternative is the worst possible existence?

Your premise is flawed based on the idea that there is absolutely "no chance" of ever getting out. Given our appeals process, there is always a slim chance - which may be incredibly slim, but slim nonetheless.

Maryland abolished the death penalty just two weeks ago (May 2nd). Right now there are 32 states that still allow the death penalty.States have commuted death sentences, most notably Illinois. Public policy may swing to abolishing the death penalty in the future. If you want to live, lots of reasons to not "give in".
