I hope we're all finished now with having to listen to how much a victim Komisarjevsky was in life, and move onto punishing him for the evil, wicked, horrible acts he committed against an innocent family.  It's way past time he and his attorneys stop blaming every little slight he may have had in his lifetime and take responsibility for what he's done.  Man up Komisarjevsky!  Isn't it amazing at times how some can be so cruel as he was to a child, raping, torturing and eventually leaving her to die, and yet when it's his time to pay up, what a whiner!

If Kmoisarjevsky is given "life", I hope it's life that's hell on Earth for him each and every day until he dies, and then there's no relief, because he should then be in hell for all eternity.  There's just not enough punishment for the evil he's done in this lifetime.  JMHO

Petit Family Killer Won't Get Death Penalty, Predicts Lawyer: 'The Scale Tips In Favor Of Life'
December 1, 2011

After more than a month of testimony in the penalty phase of the trial of triple murderer Joshua Komisarjevsky, the extensive evidence is finally complete and his attorneys are confident about his chances of dodging the death penalty.

"The scale tips in favor of life," defense attorney Jeremiah Donovan predicted on Thursday, according to a report in the Hartford Courant, despite him being co-responsible for the most horrific murder in Connecticut's history.

We don't need "mob mentality", all we need is a jury of 12.  JMHO My comment in green, right next to the mad monkey.

Two Views Of Komisarjevsky: 'Predator' Or 'Damaged'
Prosecution calls Cheshire killer's crimes 'shockingly brutal'; defense urges jury not to give in to 'mob mentality'
December 2, 2011

NEW HAVEN —

Joshua Komisarjevsky was a predator out for "greed, sex, death and destruction" the night of the Cheshire home invasion and deserves the ultimate punishment for killing a woman and her two daughters — death.

Prosecutors made those arguments Friday at the close of the penalty phase of Komisarjevsky's trial. For weeks, defense attorneys presented evidence they say shows that Komisarjevsky's troubled background, upbringing and untreated mental health issues warrant a life sentence for the killings of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters, Hayley and Michaela.

The only option he had was to go through life damaged," defense attorney Walter C. Bansley III said, looking at Komisarjevsky who sat emotionless throughout the day's closing arguments.   The other option would  be to do no harm to others.  I call BS on this!

Prosecutor: Man tormented family in home invasion
By JOHN CHRISTOFFERSEN, Associated Press
December 2, 2011

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut man and his accomplice created "the ultimate house of horrors" in a 2007 home invasion during which they killed a woman and her two daughters, inflicting extreme psychological and physical pain on the victims that amounted to torture, a prosecutor told a jury Friday.

Prosecutor Gary Nicholson said in his sentencing closing argument that Joshua Komisarjevsky deserves the death penalty and said it was ironic the defendant was seeking mercy when he showed none to the victims.

"It was shockingly brutal. It was evil. It was vicious," Nicholson said, adding the men created a "hellish inferno."
