Re: death penalty without physical evidence
As any lawyer will tell you, physical evidence is not required for conviction. Even a body isn't required, which in this case mysteriously showed up at the place of his alibi.
The jury and the judge are convinced he should be sentenced to death based on evidence, and not on media hype. I haven't seen the evidence, and more than likely none of you have either, so I wouldn't speculate on the motives of the jury and the judge.
The guy is totally devoid of emotion. That by itself, doesn't mean anything. Except that if some innocent person were to be charged with killing his wife and unborn child, one may expect more emotion and outrage. Scott even didn't try to defend himself on the witness stand.
