With all of the violence and sickness going on in this world it makes me physically sick to read comments like these about people you don't even know, on assumptions you made from the details that only the media has released on the situation. What ever happened that night is SAD on both sides of the fence. Jayna was one of the kindest persons you could ever meet and if she was still here would hate to see all this happening. I don't no Brittany but I don't hate her nor judge her, and I feel aweful for a decision she made to end another persons life (for what ever reason)that will forever change her future and life. I pray she will look to God for comfort (when judged by everyone and their opinions)and ask for guideance in the next year. Hopefully she will except her mistake and the judgement that will come with it. Our focus and energy needs to be on healing relationships and not pointing fingers, especially when there are always 3 fingers pointed directly back to you. Both families are hurting and need our community to rally around supporting and comforting them through the loss and trails. Let that be our focus and not about Racism. Anything can be made racist, but this is just an easy excuse to point fingers and not take responseability to try to mend the broken bridge.

“With all of the violence and sickness going on in this world it makes me physically sick to read comments like these about people you don't even know, on assumptions you made from the details that only the media has released on the situation.”

Do you have some special knowledge about this crime that the media have not released? I didn’t think so. Have you even studied up on what the media have released? But you’re just chock full of assumptions in support of the woman whom you believe committed this heinous crime.

What ever happened that night is SAD on both sides of the fence.

No, it isn’t. What is sad for the victim is not sad for her murderer. For you to say that means that you have no concept of right and wrong, good and evil.

Jayna was one of the kindest persons you could ever meet and if she was still here would hate to see all this happening.

She would hate to see what happening? Hate to see the woman whom you believe brutally killed her prosecuted? Although I never knew her, I doubt very much that she thought that her life was worthless. Since you feel equally sad for Jayna Murray’s killer, you do not hold that Murray’s life had any value. That’s the way it works, when you can’t bring yourself to choose good over evil.

I don't no Brittany but I don't hate her nor judge her, and I feel aweful for a decision she made to end another persons life (for what ever reason)that will forever change her future and life.

You believe that Brittany Norwood savagely murdered a woman whom you claim to have cared about, yet you not only don’t judge Norwood, but you “feel aweful [sic]” because the savage murder you believe she committed “will forever change her future and life”?

If Brittany Norwood committed this crime, she smashed in Jayna Murray’s skull for 20 minutes, including long after Murray was dead. If you don’t judge her, you’re denying that the murder that you say she committed was a crime, let alone an act of unmitigated evil.

Our focus and energy needs to be on healing relationships and not pointing fingers, especially when there are always 3 fingers pointed directly back to you.

Not only are you a nihilist, lady, but you are a moron. We need to focus on “healing relationships” with, and “not pointing fingers” at murderers? And if I point fingers at savage, racist murderers, I am condemning myself with three other fingers? For what? Have I murdered someone and forgotten about it? But if I had murdered someone, that would be o.k. with you. You have nothing against murderers; it’s people who have the temerity to judge murderers who make you angry. That means to you, savage murderers are morally superior to those of us who condemn them.

You have chosen the dark side. Your support of evil makes you evil, as well. Not in the same way as a murderer, perhaps, but you’re still evil.

Both families are hurting and need our community to rally around supporting and comforting them through the loss and trails. Let that be our focus and not about Racism. Anything can be made racist, but this is just an easy excuse to point fingers and not take responseability to try to mend the broken bridge.

“Let that be our focus and not about Racism. Anything can be made racist…”

Do you talk like that to blacks who charge whites with racism?

Relax; that was a rhetorical question.

“take responseability [sic] to try to mend the broken bridge.”

“Responseability” for what? What is “the broken bridge” you speak of, and how does one go about “mending” it? Why would there be some moral obligation among non-criminals to do whatever your platitudes might entail? Are the critics supposed to beg for forgiveness from their moral superiors, the murderers? Do you read and meditate on any of the moronic, despicable statements you write?

That, too, was a rhetorical question.
