20. 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!!!

22. Bring Jesse James Hollywood and that other coward Ryan Hoyt to the Santa Barbara mountains dig a shallow grave and shoot them both. I want my tax dollars to go to that and not to them sitting in prison awaiting death.

The kidnapping happened just up the street from my house.

27. Why did this conviction take so long. I recently saw the movie. So sad. Does anybody know what happened to Zack's older brother. He was out of his mind and swore to kill Johnny Truelove. Also, it seems it was not the intent to kill the kid. He wanted to scare off the older brother to extract drug money owed. Truelove felt cornered and acted like the bully and coward that he is. Apparently there were millions of opportunities to avoid this tragedy, there were several occasions when the kid was asked to leave and go home. Truelove will get some hellish justice by the cons for killing a kid. This guy won't last.

30. This was a very long and costly trial, I'm glad it's over. The jury had to hear some pretty heartbreaking
material in this case.
