I followed the case when it first happened simply because I'm only 20 miles from Modesto where they lived. I have to admit, though, that I didn't follow the court trial too much. As far as I know, there still wasn't any clear cut evidence pointing to him. Just a lot of circumstancial evidence and unbelievable stories. He just wasn't forthcoming about anything. That pretty much swayed public opinion, especially around here.
And yippee, we Californians get to cover all of his expenses while living in prison. Even though he is on death row, it will probably be YEARS before anything happens. I had heard somewhere though that the inmates were going to be waiting for him. I have no idea if that is true.
I also have no idea why the media latched onto this specific case. These type of crimes happen all over the U.S.
As for the death penalty, I could vote for it, IF there were concrete, direct evidence of that person committing the murder.
