Prosecutors have said they have not yet decided whether to seek the death penalty for Nick Reiner, who is eligible for it under the charges.

I don't know the details of the case, but if one of my children became disturbed enough to kill me I definitely wouldn't want the state killing them too. That would just make everything worse. I'd want them to get help.

I dated a guy who killed his mom (I didn’t know at the time), and his dad was very weird about him but clearly still loved him and wanted to support him.

I think they should set the chair to extra crispy for that sick fuck.

State should not have the right to kill period.
