A jury on Thursday recommended death for a 34-year-old Carson man convicted of slashing an elderly couple to death in their Cerritos home in 2004.

He threw his life away for $6,000? He could have earned that much by working for 6 months in a McDonald's. What's wrong with these people? They have no respect for life and sense of consequences for their actions. Oh NOW he regrets killing them, indeed.

Now let's see if California can learn the example set by Virginia this week: John Mohammed ( better known as the D.C.Sniper ) was put to death 7 years after conviction.

California's average: 20+.

Fix the system.

WORK???? these animals don't want to work or be productive members of society. What's wrong??? They're animals. Raised without morals, without respect for others or their property. It's the same mentality with these types of criminals REGARDLESS of their race. Kill them like they do in Texas and move on.

Texas, Virginia, Oklahoma, Missouri or Florida would all take care of this bile, hot lickity split. Maybe life with Bubba would be the same or worse. Next!

Send him to a Poly v Wilson game at night.

Cool jury to be on. I always end up on the lame ass juries, shoplifting, murder aiding and abetting, domestic violence. Never got a chance to recommend the death penalty.

DIE DIE DIE suka!

[Black John]

He will never die, Yes! California justice.

What a nice looking couple. I think the death penalty is definitely appropriate in this case.
My guess is they confronted him about the check.
And I agree that he will be in the system for many years.

They looked like a happy couple who were very giving citzens and it's a shame, I hope they give him the death chair!

[Enovia]

I sure hope he gets the death penalty. Scum like him deserve the DP, that way his trip to hell can begin sooner, rather than later.

[Downtown Carolyn]

I'm glad he got the death penalty. I'm sorry he will stay alive for decades on appeals and our taxes.

[Private]

What a dummy. Did he really think that he would get away with it?

[die scum bag]

typical POS

[John]

I agree with the decision for the death penalty.
