If Moore had no endeavored to commit this robbery, the clerk likely would have remained alive and well. Moore would never have shot him and would not be facing the death penalty.

Additionally, I believe The Colonel posted quite a number of brutal crimes that Moore was involved in, in addition to the murder of James Mahoney. Moore was not some good guy who made a mistake or took a wrong turn and wound up in a bad situation.

Moore deserves the sentence he was given.

I agree, Moore’s punishment is just. He enters a store with the intent of committing robbery, ends up with the victim’s firearm, kills Mahoney, then completes the robbery and makes off with the stolen money.

I could view this case as an attempted robbery that was prevented by the eventual victim. That was followed by what could be considered a voluntary manslaughter. If the governor commuted the sentence, I wouldn’t have a problem with it. Like Will, I think there is nearly no chance that that happens.

If the Lord wants to spare his life it’ll happen.

Yes he took a life and that man’s life according to Moore ,Mahoney’s life was worth $1408. What makes Moore think is life is worth sparing ? He was a Crack head. Mahoney was a hard working man he was doing what your supposed to do, and to have some Crackhead take your life. Yes he should die.
I also think when a heinous crime is committed I say let them sit in jail for 30 days then hang them. Instead of letting them sit in prison for years while we keep them up with free food a bed free medical freaking if they would stop making us pay for these low life’s our prisons wouldn’t be over populated and alot of this crime would stop.
Thank you
