Kevin Underwood faces the death pentaly for murdering a 10-year-old girl and dismembering her body.Relatives of Kevin Underwood testifies and say that he was a akward and shy child growning up and had problems playing with other children. They also stated that he had a bipolar disorder. Underwood, 28, was convicted Friday of first-degree murder for the killing of Jamie Rose Bolin in April 2006 in a plot fueled by cannibalistic fantasies and Internet pornography. The pentalty phrase of Underwood’s trial began Monday. Jurors can sentence Underwood to death or give him a life sentence with or without the possibility of parole.Prosecutors said Underwood qualifies for the death penalty because he poses a continuing threat and because the girl’s killing was especially cruel. But the defense said he was mentally ill and was out of touch with reality.
My opinion to this articles is that if he was depress from the beginning of childhood, why didi the parents seek help? After this murder they decides to seek hewlp to keep him out of trouble. I don’t believe in death penalties, but i do believe that life in prison is not as bad as the a death penalty.
