Jami Floyd's Last Word on lethal injection

Jamie,

When I can, I always listen to your last word.

I will be watching the wire this Sunday night. I didn't even know the show existed. I mostly watch TV CourtTV.

Do you have a website that gives archieves of your Last Word? If so please let me know so I can look up what you had to say on the days I can't watch.

Thanks,

Lynn

Jami Floyd... as usual, I completely agree with you. I am against the death penalty because I believe that we are better than that. I believe no civilized society should have the death penalty. I believe that lethal injection is cruel and unusual. Its unconstitutional. I hope the Supreme Court ends the death penalty once and for all and resets the punishment back to life in prison without parole.

Give me a break. Who cares if someone that is a murderer gets a painful death?? I am sick of a system that is so worried about the criminal and doesn't worry about the victims. If it were up to me, the person would die in the same manner as thier victims. At the very least, bring back public hangings and firing squads. Why should the taxpayers pay for these monsters to take up space?? Our justice system is broken when it is geared more towards criminals' rights.

I am in favor of the death penalty and here's why: If some one steals yourcar; you can get another car..if someone steals your money; you can get more money, but if someone steals your life, that cannot be replaced. And requires a punishment that fits the crime.

I feel that the crimes commited by these perps are cruel and they do not deserve to live in this world. The only thing that makes me against the Death Penalty is the time it takes to inforce it and the money spent on known guilty perps.

I would like to see less deals worked out that allows a serial killer to get less of a sentence and escape the Death Penalty while another gets the DP for a less violent crime. If lethal injection is too cruel then go back to the electric chair or hanging.

If life in prison was worse then death then why all the appeals against death in favor of life. There were no appeals given to the victims. The victims did not want to die either.

The above is just my opinion.

When these monsters viciously take another’s life then there shouldn’t even be questions of weather they feel pain or not when being put to death for their heinous acts upon humanity.

Jamie Floyd is a champion in my mind. not afraid to tell America how it is you go girl.get over it America...

Thank God for justice finally being done for Cynthia . What part of "reasonable doubt" do juries not seem to understand? Now, on to Melanie McGuire!

Hi Jami:
I am a died in the wool Republican. I saw you on O'Reilly Factor on Fox News tonight, 9/4/08 and thought you were so honest and upfront without adding political spin. You were fair in comments to Governor Palin and I wanted to let you know that I really respect you for being fair in your analysis and opinion. I didn't know how to e-mail you, so I'm hoping you get this. I wish more people could look at things like you do. Thanks for being fair...........

Ms Floyd:
Im just curious where the "stolen " momorilibilia came from in the first place. It did end up in others hands, but was it sold or stolen from the estate of Nichole Brown Simpson during the incident at Rockingham? In the second premise ,shouldn't the items have been reported stolen investigated and or returned to the true owner?

Jamie, I love to listen to you when you are covering the court trials. However, I would really appreciate it if you would keep your personal comments to yourself about the OJ trial. Once the guns appeared, the whole thing chanaged, and there is no way this case could have (or should have) been dropped.

Jamie,
You annoy me. I have been a victim of robberies. I called the police. I did not recover any of the stolen items. BUT I did not ask my friends to go help me get it back. OJ did something he should have not have done & in my opinion it was illegal. His loss was no different than mine, if I took a half dozen of big guys to recover my 'stuff' it would be illegal.

God help us all if this is justice from judges, prosecuters and jurers jurers that happened in the OJ case

I want to add to the O. J. Simpson verdict a white Judge, 2 white procecuters an all whit deliberating jury and 2 black defendends. The story of American Justice through the decades as we al know it. By the way I am white but this makes me sick

Whats sad about our flawed court system is that IT did take an all white jury to fix what an all black jury did, obviously on racial bias, 14 years ago for a man that was with no doubt guilty. The verdict finally wiped that smerk off his face as i hopt the sentence does too

Hi Jamie,

My mom has been watching for a long time now; she said you always say "The System Works"; well the system worked in regards to Simpson! My mom says "Get Over It"!

I am so disappointed that the Tyler Edmonds trial, is not on live today. I read that In Session is there so why no live coverage?

Dear Jamie,

I loved your today's "last word", November 7, 2008. I am an in-between person as you called me and I have always said, "look beyond any person". I have and am still working with hearing-impaired children and some that had more than one handicap.
You are right, we need to love one another. Thanks to this motto I go by, I have always managed to be a happy person, also trying to make others happy no matter who they are. It does not always work, but the attempt remains and thanks again so much for your "last word" today, I agree wholeheartedly!!!!! You are also beautiful, your eyes and hair!!!!!

Question why did you guys not update on Eric Mclean's sentence? Also Why was Tyler Edmonds re-trial not covered? Id like to see more updates on sentencing of previous cases I had to google Eric Mclean to find out his sentence. I was dissapointed that no updates were given.

First of all I am white and was raised in with no racial prejudice. What I am seeing in this case is a white woman saying to herself, that no black woman is going to crowd in front of me and she intentionally elbowed the black lady. She started the altercation and simply lost. If the white woman got hurt, it was her own doing.

Amen! Covering trials was Court TV's Best Quality. Updates and Live Coverage. Now, you cover a trial... sort of, then there is NO follow up on line, on the CNN site, but boy if you want to watch all those other cop/detective garbage programs. The site Really loves to cover that schedule.
Big disappointment "Tru TV" (ugh) has gone this direction.
OVER Catherine Crier. Are you crazy?? I think so!
I NEVER WATCH AFTER NOON PST SINCE THE CHANGE. NEVER.

Jami.. Your comment that you don't know if OJ committed the crimes against his wife and Ron Goldman, that was between him and his God...wouldn't that be the same with all the cases presented before juries then? Yet they are asked to decide if the person charged is guilty or not...

To give someone Death is such a joke. It will just go on and on for what 25 or 30 years of hell for the victims family. I know first hand about the system. Three years after two persons murdered my son and one of his friends we just got a conviction of capitol murder. So I know how the murders beg for their own lifes. At that life has so much vaule to them. We thank God got life with out. I just pray it stays. The system seems to want to let killers go no matter what you get in court. The girl however was convicted of two counts of felony murder. That carries 20 to 196 years in Al. But guess what the judge gave her only 20 years split. What does that mean? All is forgiven but 5 years with time served. So after 3 years and the heart break of the trial she will walk Oct. 15, 2010. What a joke of a judge we had. So you never know at what point it will go south. Life with out is much harder to fall apart than death. By the way a shout out the the Jefferson Co. Al. Judge Teresa Pulliam the defense judge the gave my sons life no value at all. She mocked our pain and our loss of a great and very loved son. Thank you

I am so glad you said about the death penily UNREAL. I so agree.AN eye for an eye. LIke i have said bafore calye gets death and casey gets life.a As long as casey is breating she will never give it up. She will take her secret to her grave.

I know that Tyler Edmonds cared for Kristi Fulgham at the time of the murder, but what I really want to know is: Did Tyler care for Joey Fulgham as well? How did Tyler feel about Joey deep down inside?

I believe that it is God's job, and only God's job, when it comes to the decision between life or death. The death penalty is no different than murder. And just as you had felt and still feel after losing your loved one, the family of this murderer will feel also. I'm not saying that we should spare them their lives for themselves, I'm saying that we should consider their children and spouses. I know what it feels like to lose someone you love to something so tragic and unfair, but taking the other person's life isn't going to bring them back. I think that being human, we all try to take matters into our own hands when we should leave them with God. I know it's hard but we should find the strength to pray that this murderer realizes the error in their ways and asks for forgiveness so that they will be ultimately saved.

1/16/09 -I really like you,but do not think you should run people down for the clothes they wear.Do you know his circumstances?One question,Why do most of the anchor people wear hollywood neck lines that are so plunging&skirts almost up to thier--!Judges,Lawyers,& really smart folks/w a brain who went to school for a very long time ,could take a lesson from Greta V on fox.One of the classes Ladies on t.v.I can watch her and respect her,she is a true professonal.Let's move the neckline up&the skirt line down,and comfortable seating for all.Thanks for listening.Ruth from Iowa

so the vitum loses all the way around ,while these killers live on to kill again.i say an eye for an eye,

I ask Nancy Grace with no answer. I as a mother of three grandmother of nine have a problem thinking Casey could have done this to her Caylee. What makes me wonder if you as a woman would you put duck tape near the hair if you know it has to be removed? I think she let a male watch her child and this was an act of a man. Question: did they look at the house that belonged to that Jeff's family member owned 150 yards away from were they found Caylee's remaines?

my question is why didn't the lawyers ask the witness 'cotton'if she was having affair with the defendent?

Regarding your Final Word on the "science" of forensic evidence; please look into following the Cathy Torrez murder trial in Santa Ana, California.
Jury selection is to begin sometime this summer in this twenty year old case. Being formerly from this state, you may well remember this. I am friends of defendants in this case. Newspaper coverage of this case has been prejudicial to these brothers charged in her tragic murder. Would be very informative and beneficial to see Live courtroom feed on your show of this case based on "new forensics". Love your show, excellent job!

Jamie I have a guestion. Like in the case of Brandon Craig does the defense know if he really did the crime when they begin? Does the defendent really tell the truth to at least them or do they keep the truth to themselves? I just don't understand how it works. Thank you for your time.

Hi Jamie!
Love your Style! But tend to disagree with you regarding the death
penalty. This man needs to get the death penalty, and no longer be
on this earth to hurt anyone again. I dont know how Denises dad
can sit in the same room with him, and hold his composure. He is
better than I.

Dear Jami Floyd,
I really enjoy watching your progrom, and think your very good at what all of you do.
In the Michael King case he chose the death penalty when he committed the evil act.
I am a Christian, but knowing people get away with murder because they can stay in prison all there life, appeal time after time is so unfair to the victims and their families.
I know if i murdered someone in the first degree I'd deserve the death penalty.
The judge and the jury don't put them to death, they do it to themselves!

After all the advocating I have done with respect to the defendant's right to have the best defense, I have to disagree with Ms. Floyd on the death penalty issue. I fervently hope the judge adheres to the jury's recommendation of death. I believe that the death penalty would be more effective if it was swift and I hate knowing that tax payers will support this monster for another 8-12 years. I only wish that the father be allowed to carry out the sentence in the same manner that his little girl was killed.
