I've said it before, and I'll say it again: if you're dumb enough to put blind faith in someone just because they claim to be working for god, you maybe deserved it.

not that you car - I'm quite certain you don't - but I just lost an enormous amount of respect for you because of this comment.

Saying you respect a jury isn't excusing the death of the victim. You're making a connection that isn't there to excuse a response that isn't warranted.
