jcthai, my pojnt is if he can be rahabilitated, that's good for him, but it should be affect a sentence, even if a judge can consider it. If he can be rehabilitated, that will help him wit this maker when he dies. His debt to society and the victim's family should not be considered repaid until his own death.

This court decision, as I read it, doesn't mean that he can't be sentenced this way, only that it is not automatic.

Exactly. Everyone relax, at least until he is resentenced. I seriously doubt he will be getting out anytime soon. EVEN IF he would come up for parole, he would still have to pass the parole boards review. Charles Manson has come up for parole how many times and is still in prison?

The guy executed a person on her knees. The distinction of a 17 yo not being fully responsible and an 18yo being fully responsible is absurd and arbitrary. 17 year olds are responsible enough to drive a car but aren't capable of grasping the concept of what it means to kidnap someone and execute them on there knees at the edge of a road? Absurd.

Hope he is once again sentenced to life without parole. This court decision, as I read it, doesn't mean that he can't be sentenced this way, only that it is not automatic.

It would do no good to give him the death penalty since there is still a stay on executions here in NC . I agree with rednek that the ultimate penalty should have been given to both of these lowlifes . They kidnapped her , stole her SUV ,and shot her with a handgun and to " finish her off " , they used a shotgun . Rehab for a mentality like that ? No , they both should never see freedom for as long as they live .

We have a society that has gone off the deep end.

Our system does nothing to divert ones thinking in the correct direction before they go and do something as hideous as what these things did.

I hope the judge has a pair and sentences him to DEATH! That is what he deserves, the same as he gave Eve Carson!

"readme, the point about rehabilitation is that if there is any chance of it, you might give a lighter sentence or allow the possibility of parole."

in some cases, the potential for rehabilitation shouldn't be a factor in sentencing. this is one of those cases. the difference is punishment vs. keeping a dangerous person off the streets. he should be punished for the rest of his life.
