I'm a big court tv fan and have been doing a lot of watching of the case - would have loved to have cameras in the courtroom, but judge nixed that idea but the coverage especially from beth karas has been excellent. I believe he should get the death penalty, but even if he does get it it will still be life without parole because there are 600 + people on death row ahead of him that need to be executed before he gets the needle and the liklihood of him getting executed before he dies of natural causes is very low - and the rate of execution in cali isn't very high. So regardless of the penalty phase verdict he's still going to wind up in prison for the rest of his life. It is true there will be a few differences if he gets the death sentence rather than life without parole, but there isn't many. So I'm hoping for a death verdict, but either way he isn't going to see light of day again. There's some more interesting cases coming up...Robert Blake's opening statements are supposed to start on the 20th - you got Michael Jackson's case starting Jan 31st be interesting to see how cameras will come into place. You know the judge probably won't let cameras in for Michael Jackson's which will be a pain, but things tend to get out of hand when there's cameras in the courtroom, but it would be nice to get first hand accounts on what is going on instead of just hearing it second, third hand from reporters. That's just my 2 cents worth :-)
