It keeps gangs from saying that they personally didn't pull the trigger, when all were there causing mayhem and murder under the same cover. The person there who didn't pull the trigger or shed any of their blood providing material for DNA results, etc., is still guilty by association in capital offense crimes: murder. That's called an 'accessory to a crime' and carries the same sentencing standards. I personally have no real info about the crime, but going through several levels and repeats of levels of courts and appeals, all his nine lives were prolly used by now. |

It bad enough how local news gets twisted and distorted never mind the agendas involved in something on the other side of the world. I don't care whether they execute people, or on what grounds. I have no more idea about his guilt then any other NZ'er, To most its just something to rally against. I laughed when they blocked emails from NZ. |

| 1233089 | 2011-09-23 03:18:00 | is it controversial because he was black?? it seems to be the case more often than not. | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1233090 | 2011-09-23 03:42:00 | It's too hard to prove 100% it was them, like Pctek said, too many dodgy lawyers, and many other factors come into play. The fact that people have been wrongfully executed for crimes they did not commit is terrible, and this should never happen. |

| 1233091 | 2011-09-23 04:49:00 | The guy was already a crook before he killed the off duty cop. In fact just before that he had fired at a passing car. He just so deserved to die and I even think death by injection is too easy for a cop killer. I would have preferred him to be fried by an electric chair |

Severe cases get fried by an electric hair dryer. The Ultimate Evil sods get a Ford. |

No biggy when Dad punished me with a bit of willow branch and I screamed I was innocent he used to say well this for the times you got away with it without getting caught then. Same with this gun carrying crook. |
