I dont know the whole story about that and I havent seen the movie but I've heard little things anyways anyone that hurts someone potentially or worse like this guy did and has no conscience or no heart are psycho and deserve to be in prison forever and ever. At least their will finally be justice since their isnt always.

--> TMZ...it is now ok to use the names Jesse James Hollywood and Nick Markowitz. If it's easier for you, you can also use the names Johnny Truelove and Zack Mazursky....we'll get it.

Justice Prevails. Nick once again and always R.I.P. You will always be remembered. I am so happy for you Mom and Dad. Finally a little rest and peace. To you Jesse James Hollywood you were and are a small man and thought you could lie to a jry of your peers. Testiminy after testimony proved you were a liar. Go to death row and rot..... My only wish is that the State would start implementing death on death row. The sooner you are gone the better the world will be.

I hope he lands in the same place as Ryan Hoyt - the one who actually killed Nick... I hope he gets the DP - anything less would be tragic. Without Jesse James Hollywood - Nick would be alive today.

Should get the death penalty but in California even if he get's it he will probably die of old age first. Send him to San Quentin next to Scott Peterson!!!
