All’s well that ends well

I guess in a case like this what Mr. Andrade should have done is kept his mouth shut. I believe that his 39 min. police interview and recorded conversations from jail were the turning point in this case. I belive that Justice was served for Justin, and his family however I dont agree it should have been a live sentence. We all make mistakes that we later regret, he is human and also does have a family who will also suffer, because of his bad decisions. Maybe 45 yrs would have been reasonable.

how can you not agree with a life sentence D.? because the killers family will suffer for his actions? that is just plain stupid and moronic.

a person is dead and they are going to stay dead and their family is never ever going to have them back. why should his family be given more consideration?

this man set out to find a victim. he is a sociopath. he spent all this time with the victim, had sex with the victim, and then bashed the victim in the head while she slept and stole her property which he then gave to his girlfriend.

remove allthe transgender issues and you have an open and shut case of a sociopathic killing with a robbery. add on the fact that he did seek out a transgender or gay person to make his victim makes it even more the worse.

this man confessed he did it. he was blase about it on the recorded conversations. he deserves life and the jury smartly rejected all the defense nonsense. the defense had no evidence to support it.

i am willing to put good money on your quibbling on penalty that you harbor the anti gay bias that 14 percent on the survey of this site had with not agreeing with the verdict.

i love jamie floyd even if she is a defense attorney. i like watching her program.

I abolsutely agree with you Jami regarding your "last Word" today about Andrade 1st degree murder charge. After listening to telephone conversation of Juror #4 saying how the jurors didn't even TALK about 2nd degree murder. Prosecutors did not prove it was premeditated, therefore a 2nd degree murder charge should have been discussed. Of course Andrade is guilty, but as you said, the law is the law and the jurors did not follow the judges instructions. Is this reason for Appeal???

Terri-

What instruction of the judge did the jury fail to follow? Did he instruct them to not consider the first degree murder charge? It would have been taken off the table if it wasn't to be considered.
This was premeditated murder. The killer waited for the victim to come home and then waited for the victim to fall asleep before ending its life. All during these times the killer had the opportunity to change his mind about what he was going to do or, maybe, he was planning his actions. Jami's definition of premeditation is way off from the legal definition.

I was elated to see the verdict of reckless homicide. He was a very
non-confrontational type of person. He loved his wife so much he
put up with her shenanigans. And i do believe that the rifle went off accidently when Sean grabbed the end of the barrel. His finger was on the trigger and if Sean pulled the gun towards himself i think it is resonable that grabbing it and pulling on it would make his finger pull the trigger. I really didn't hear what was going to happen to the boys.
